Removing the Sting of Death

Experience New Depths of God's Presence in Times of Pain, Grief, and Loss

By: Bill Johnson

Narrated by: Bill Johnson

What if your loss could spark a divine breakthrough?

When prayers seem to go unanswered, when the miracle you want is nowhere to be found, when the pain of loss sears your soul, how will you respond?

For months, thousands around the globe prayed for a miraculous healing for Beni, beloved wife of pastor Bill Johnson, that never came. At Bethel Church, a global outpost of revival known for its signs and wonders, her passing thundered through the community like an avalanche in the valley.

Yet in the days following her homegoing, Pastor Bill delivered one of the most powerful, vulnerable, Holy Spirit-inspired sermons from that valley floor, offering courage, peace, and hope for anyone facing overwhelming loss and grief.

In this powerful new book based on that watershed sermon, Bill draws from scripture and his own experience of deep personal loss, teaching you how to process your pain with God and experience new dimensions of His presence available in times of suffering.

With raw honesty and compassion born from lifting hands in praise amidst tears of grief, Bill empowers you to:

• Run toward God’s presence instead of away from Him.
• Grieve with heavenly hope.
• Rediscover the simplicity of faith that trusts Him no matter what.
• Surrender your disappointment, pain, and questions to God.
• Receive a vision for the other side of your mourning.
• Embrace the mystery as much as the miracle.

Sometimes the most priceless gifts you can give God are only found in the valley: joy in loss, celebration in pain. Even as the darkness of the soul seems complete, choose this day to draw near to Him and experience aspects of His presence you can only find this side of heaven.

God is Good

My younger brother passed away suddenly one month before this book was released. My heart and faith was strengthened by the revelations and journey pastor Bill shared. If you struggle with disappointment that your prayers weren’t answered the way you believed they would. This book is for you.

Best Bill Johnson Book

Bill Johnson does an amazing job of combining the revelations from his previous books. With the cold truth that his wife died of cancer and the process involved of losing the one you love.

He faces the pain and sorrow of losing Beni, And the grief that accompany that.that process. While at the same time, acknowledging the goodness of God throughout this painful process. There’s no sugar coating in this book. He expresses openly that grief is hard.

The fact that Bill Johnson reads the book on Audible makes this book even more amazing. It must’ve been a really hard process to be so open and raw.

Scripture matched with stories and a better understanding of how to handle death in this life.

I really appreciated his vulnerable heart and willingness to share that with everyone in a Godly way.

Understanding my loss.

Helped me find some peace of my loss. The same as the author I lost my wife of 54 four years. Four years ago on Christmas eave. Thank you for this book.

Authentic

I appreciate the authenticity of the written and spoken content. I appreciate it when Bill narrates his own book because he has a cadence that allows it to sink in for the reader.
