SMT - EMOTIONS GRIPPING AMERICANS: FEAR, GRIEF, WORRY, HOPELESSNESS
Auto Channel -- Robert Gordon, Co-Publisher PASTOR AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR MAX LUCADO RESPONDS TO EMOTIONS GRIPPING AMERICANS: FEAR, GRIEF, WORRY, HOPELESSNESS Book Offers Encouragement for Uncertain Times TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2001 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM ET America has been plunged into a time of grief and fear that could not have been anticipated just days ago. Terrorist attacks and airplane hijackings have left the nation feeling vulnerable, fearful and grieving deeply. And as millions are looking for answers, a respected pastor speaks peace and comfort from the Twenty-third Psalm to those hurting across the nation. In Traveling Light: Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Intended to Bear Max Lucado, a pastor and author with more than 25 million books in print, addresses the issues Americans are dealing with today: worry, hopelessness, death and doubt. As individuals and churches pray for a nation upended by terrorism, Max Lucado’s recent release points to the Twenty-third Psalm, the same scripture President Bush quoted in his remarks to the nation on the day of the terrorist attacks. Lucado explains why he believes this piece of scripture seems to be front of mind for so many. “This beloved psalm has for centuries been recited by those facing mortality and grief and loss. It offers comfort as few other words have done throughout human history. And these words have been no more appropriate than now.” He encourages Americans to lay down their burdens of fear, grief and uncertainty—and points them to the wisdom of the Twenty-third Psalm for authentic comfort and hope. In his latest book, Traveling Light, Lucado identifies specific burdens humankind labors under and which God desires to remove. Some of the burdens he addresses include: • The burden of weariness: He makes me lie down in green pastures • The burden of worry: He leads me beside still waters • The burden of hopelessness: He restores my soul • The burden of the grave: Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death • The burden of fear: I will fear no evil • The burden of loneliness: You are with me • The burden of doubt: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life To book a window, please contact Maya Burghardt@ 323-930-1030.
