We do not have video or photographic records of Jesus' life, nor do we have a definitive biography - only glimpses offered in the gospels. Even though Christ remains one of the most frequently written about figures in all of history, it is impossible for us to understand the mystery of his life. As we approach the Lenten season, author John Timmerman invites readers to walk upon ground that God has provided for coming to know his Son.

Light of the World: Daily Meditations for Advent

How do you reconstruct a joyful life out of a barren wasteland? 
That's the question so many believers today are asking in the wake of divorce, loss of a loved one, a frightening medical diagnosis, or any number of equally devastating events that seek to crush their spirits. Joy is a struggle—it takes work and commitment. But, it is also the power against which no darkness can stand. 
Much of the contemporary Christian experience is similar to that of the Israelites who returned from exile—uncertain and tentative in their faith, questioning their legitimacy as children of god. Using stories from frequently overlooked chapters in Ezra and Nehemiah, author John Timmerman illuminates the way to a renewed spirit for those who feel lost and are suffering. 
It is as if God speaks directly to us out of the pages of history, saying, "Hold on. My guidance is sure. The walls can be rebuilt. You can dance with joy again as persons of God." Like God's Children of Israel, we are really Not So Far From Home.

In A Biblical Understanding of Pain: Its Reasons and Realities, John Timmerman examines six different sources of pain, each with its own chapter of description and biblical response. These include physical pain, the pain of mental illness, spiritual pain, emotional pain, the pain of the Prodigal, and the pain of memories. Additional chapters explore the sources of pain, the denial of pain, and the question of God's omnipotence and why he doesn't just remove pain. Rather than setting forth sets of rules governing our response to pain, Professor Timmerman narrates actual life events and examples, and then examines biblical responses to these. The result is a study that feels lived in.
