Tim Keesee – författare

"Beautifully written and inspiringly grounded in the deepest truths, this is a book that will give strength and courage to all who are making their way through uncertain times and difficult days."--Tim Challies, author of Seasons of SorrowHow Do You Make Each Day of Your Brief Life Count?Tim Keesee spent years crisscrossing the globe, documenting the gospel's advance in regions of war and persecution through his writing and films. But double blows from terminal cancer diagnoses in 2019 and 2021 brought his travels to a halt. In A Day's Journey, Tim takes up his pen to write dispatches from a smaller, more intimate world. He writes of Christian brothers and sisters who have taught him so much about a day well spent: the way they work and worship, the way they pray and sing, the way they love their neighbors and their enemies, even when beaten black and blue for the sake of Christ. In this book you'll have the privilege to walk with Tim through days of pain and hard questions, but also days of grace, wonder, and death-defying joy. Poignant, inspiring, and beautifully written, these stories model the courage we need, the joy we have, the gospel we love, the cross we bear, and the hope we embrace until faith becomes sight."A Day's Journey was written for you. The stories on the following pages are compiled for the enrichment of your faith. For when it comes to hardships, we all need hope, help, and a little guidance. With every chapter, Tim provides convincing examples of how to do what is good--that is, how to endure the weightiest of afflictions with an eye to God's glory."--Joni Eareckson Tada, from the foreword
