Michael A. Milton Books

"Night terrors, hyper-focusing, and being startled by the bark of your dog or a clap of thunder are not only symptoms of trauma but signs that the soul--your soul--has been bruised by the experience of human savagery. Suffering from the wounds of war can be suffering for Christ." So writes Michael A. Milton in Suffering for Christ, this first installment in the new series from Bethesda Publishing Group: "The Wounds of War." Using a visit to a local VA clinic and a divine appointment with a fellow Veteran, Milton offers pastoral and theological insights to help pastors and other believers locate meaning in the mystery of suffering. Dr. Milton originally produced the Wounds of War Series for the Presbyterian and Reformed Commission on Chaplains and Military Personnel (PRCC). The series aims to locate and identify spiritual and" "moral injuries associated with service in the Armed Forces and seek biblical cure and care through Gospel-centered, theological reflection, and evidence-based pastoral application. Intended to serve Veterans and those who care for them--Chaplains, pastors, counselors, and other ministry providers--the series will help congregations, seminaries, and nonprofits minister better understand those who have borne the battle to protect our country."

The Faith for Living series seeks to reproduce selected messages for publications and distribution, which will bring biblical theological solutions for everyday challenges. No challenge is more common and no message is more needed. It is not my message, I assure you. It is God's. I pray that He will use these words to bring hope and healing for your life. You were not designed or destined to live you life in the bondage that comes from the pain inflicted by another. You wer meant to live free. Jesus said that You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. My this message that you read today give you more truth for more freedom. It is to that end that I offer it. I am grateful to Wipf and Stock for their commitment to reproduce these messages. I am thankful to my wife, Mae, who always encourages me to preach and preach and preach again. She has often prayed with me and helped me find and apply the truth I write about here for my own life.
