The Tears of Gethsemane
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
The difference between Jesus and the believer in the Garden of Gethsemane is this: the believer is not omniscient, while Jesus knew the heart of man. Jesus also knew the suffering that He would have to endure beforehand. He was God in eternity past, and knew what he had to face before it happened. The believer may be well aware that he or she is under attack by the evil one, or in a major storm in his or her life, and is suffering. However, the believer may not understand the reason or know the outcome of the experience. When a believer finds him or herself in the Garden of Gethsemane, there, are several truths he or she must come to terms with. He or she must give up self, suffer a loss, and pass the test (and times of tempting) using the word of God. Satan will attack the believer, the believer will suffer pain, and it will take perseverance to get through.

About the Book
Life is full of ups and downs. All believers, at some point or another, will stand at a crossroads whether in our ministries, while weathering a major storm, or while contemplating why our faithfulness to God seems to cause humiliation, betrayal, or gossip. One day we will all have our garden of Gethsemane—the call God has on our lives that will require pain, trials, and sorrow in order for his glory to become evident, and strengthen us to walk in our destinies and build God’s kingdom.
In a powerful and unique spiritual guidebook, Deborah Faulks utilizes the story of Jesus’s temptations at the Garden of Gethsemane to educate believers on how to be prepared for the advances of the devil as well as on how to leave the garden successfully and ultimately fulfill God’s destiny and purpose. Faulks includes Christian characteristics that qualify a believer, twelve keys of wisdom, comparisons between the Garden of Eden and the Garden of Gethsemane, ways to prevent getting stuck, why Jesus is the model of prayer, and a detailed explanation of the heart of Jesus in prayer.
The Tears of Gethsemane reveals hidden biblical truths while educating the believer standing at the crossroads of a God-ordained ministry to fulfill their spiritual destiny and purpose.
