“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR HURTING PEOPLE: THE BEYOND SUFFERING BIBLE

 

This Christmas the Beyond Suffering Bible is a great gift you can give to people affected by disability or chronic conditions who need the infinite hope only God can give to those who suffer.

This unique and critically important New Living Bible includes Book Intros, profiles, devotionals and connection points developed under Joni Eareckson Tada’s inspiration, hard-won insights, and oversight and leadership. 

The Beyond Suffering Bible was carefully crafted by her team at Joni and Friends at Agoura Hill, California in partnership with Tyndale House Publishers to specifically address the needs of people affected by disability and those facing chronic conditions. 

The Beyond Suffering Bible was first published eight years ago, and I had the privilege—at Joni’s request—to give input to its development. Upon its release, Joni sent me a copy with a note:

Dear Mark… I am so grateful for your endorsement and words of encouragement about the new Beyond Suffering Bible. … My heart is filled to overflowing with joy when I think of the many caregivers, special-needs families, people with disabilities and countless others who will be encouraged by God’s Word, as well as the many notes, essays and references in The Beyond Suffering Bible. … [T]hank you for being part of the team who is
helping to make this happen.”

Is there someone in your family or community who might benefit from the Beyond Suffering Bible? Order a copy today from Joni and Friends at https://joniandfriends.org/product/beyond-suffering-bible/ or a kindle version on Amazon. It may be the most significant Christmas gift you give this year.
