THE GUIDE ... CHRISTIAN COMFORT

Roger Ellsworth

Small Paperback   160 pp 

The Christian life is rarely trouble-free and there are many trials that the people of God have to go through. They frequently need comfort and can even become despondent as they seek to cope with personal trials and afflictions, and as they face the abounding wickedness and ever-increasing hostility of a godless world.

In this latest book in The Guide series Roger Ellsworth shows that the greatest comfort comes from God himself, who is indeed the source of all comfort. He is the one who can alleviate grief and encourage believers during the deepest of trials. There is no situation in which he cannot bring his comfort, and when we have experienced his love and care during such times we are encouraged to comfort others, until that coming day when we will sorrow no more because we are with him in eternity.

‘In a series of short, snappy chapters, Roger Ellsworth has helpfully set out a biblical response for virtually every situation and condition requiring comfort. He does so with the Christian primarily in mind; but he also has instruction for unbelievers too. He is clear, direct and challenging. A useful guide for those times when things seem to be going wrong.’ Rev. Daniel Webber, Mission Director, European Missionary Fellowship, Welwyn

This work on Christian comfort is the latest topical book in The Guide series. The aim of the series is to communicate the Christian faith in a straightforward and readable way, and to that end each chapter is relatively short and concise, but also contains questions for further study. An innovative feature of the series is that it is linked to its own web site, which can be found at www.evangelicalpress.org where further questions may be posted, to be answered by a team of experienced, dedicated men.

Roger Ellsworth is the pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, Benton, Illinois, USA. He has a number of books in print, including Be patient, God hasn’t finished with me, yet!; Faithful under fire; The Guide — The Bible book by book; Journey to the cross; A promise is a promise; and several books in the Welwyn Commentary series, all published by Evangelical Press.
