Removing the Sting of Death: Experience New Depths of God's Presence in Times of Pain, Grief, and Loss - Paperback

by Bill Johnson (Author)

What If Your Loss Could Spark A Divine Breakthrough?

When prayers seem to go unanswered, when the miracle you want is nowhere to be found, when the pain of loss sears your soul, how will you respond?

For months, thousands around the globe prayed for a miraculous healing for Beni, beloved wife of pastor Bill Johnson, that never came. At Bethel Church, a global outpost of revival known for its signs and wonders, her passing thundered through the community like an avalanche in the valley.

Yet in the days following her homegoing, Pastor Bill delivered one of the most powerful, vulnerable, Holy Spirit-inspired sermons from that valley floor, offering courage, peace, and hope for anyone facing overwhelming loss and grief.

In this powerful new book based on that watershed sermon, Bill draws from Scripture and his own experience of deep personal loss, teaching you how to process your pain with God and experience new dimensions of His presence available int times of suffering.

With raw honesty and compassion born from lifting hands in praise amidst tears of grief, Bill empowers you to:

• Run toward God's presence instead of away from Him.
• Grieve with heavenly hope.
• Rediscover the simplicity of faith that trusts Him no matter what.
• Surrender your disappointment, pain, and questions to God.
• Receive a vision for the other side of your mourning.
• Embrace the mystery as much as the miracle.

Sometimes the most priceless gifts you can give God are only found in the valley: joy in loss, celebration in pain. Even as the darkness of the soul seems complete, choose this day to draw near to Him and experience aspects of His presence you can only find this side of Heaven.

"Faith doesn't deny the existence of a problem. It denies the problem a place of control or influence." - Bill Johnson
