Hit by Friendly Fire: What to Do When Fellow Believers Hurt You (EP Books)

“British publisher EP Books has released Hit By Friendly Fire this week in the United States. The book, written by theologian, author and singer/songwriter Michael Milton, discusses the often-ignored topic of how to handle the hurt caused by fellow believers among each other. Hit By Friendly Fire is available on Amazon.com…” reports McCain & Co. Public Relations.

“Published last month in the U.K., Hit By Friendly Fire is already finding an audience both inside and outside the church, with clergy using it as a ministerial resource and believers reading it for understanding and guidance.”

Christians expect to be troubled by the unbelieving world – but not by their brothers and sisters in the church. Unfortunately, often the case is the reverse. In this book Michael Milton brings us back to Scripture, to the experiences of Joseph and Paul, and demonstrates that it is possible to move from being a victim to being a victor, even when Christian bonds make the wounds all the deeper. Full of personal and pastoral wisdom, this little book will help many believers face a trauma all too common in the Christian church, yet all too seldom addressed in the literature.’
Iain D. Campbell, Free Church of Scotland, Isle of Lewis

“I wish this booklet did not need to be written, but it does, because far too many Christians are wounded every year by fellow believers. As a “spiritual medic,” Mike has treated these wounds for years. His counsel is insightful, compassionate, and solidly biblical; it will help to heal many wounded saints.” Ken Sande, President, Peacemaker® Ministries

Songs in the Night: How God Transforms Our Pain to PraiseSongs in the Night: How God Transforms Our Pain to Praise (P&R Publishing)

Turn your weakest, most discouraging moments . . . into your best, most uplifting moments.

“Always preach to broken hearts and you will never lack for a congregation,” an old saying goes. And for that reason, this book is for everyone—because there are many, many things that break our hearts. Sicknesses, spiritual depression, disabilities, painful memories, strained relationships . . . all of these weigh on Christians’ hearts at one time or another. And even when our hearts feel light, there is a longing that runs through us—a crying of the soul for eternity, for a new heavens and a new earth.

Yet even in the midst of our heartache, we know there is a faith that comes from Jesus Christ that not only encourages us through our pain, but can even transform our pain . . . as long as we let it. And here is a collection of warm, pastoral messages, filled with personal illustration, that does just that: helps the broken-hearted Christian to locate the God of all comfort in the center of all pain.

We are not left there, either; Mike Milton takes us a step further to see how the gospel actually transforms our private pain into personal praise. So read and discover how God uses the things that seek to destroy us to become the very things that bring us salvation, bring us hope, bring us to prayer, bring us together, and ultimately bring us to heaven.

Small Things, Big Things: Inspiring Stories of God’s Grace (P&R Publishing)

“A pleasure to read: warm, encouraging, inspiring and uplifting.” – Sally Lloyd Jones, author of The Jesus Storybook Bible

“We will never learn to find God in the ordinariness of life until we are taught by someone who has. Mike Milton has been finding God in the ordinary from his first childhood day of poverty in Louisiana. With a pastor’s heart, he obviously longs for us to find Him as well.” – Michael Card

“Who says that ‘theology’ is dull and too other worldly? They must not be referring to this book… each pithy vignette in the most down to earth manner teaches deep theology that will bless your heart… as he writes about grief, trials, joys, and all other aspects of life and reality. Amidst your smiles, memories of home, and bygone days, you will see the truth in each reading.” – Dr. Charles Dunahoo

“Somehow Michael Milton has managed to pack the weight of glory into the nutshell of everyday life. The ‘big things’ of eschatology and theology and doxology and cosmology, bear their souls before us in the ‘small things’ that we can touch and smell and remember so well. A warm-hearted credit to the reformed tradition!” – Dr. John Guest

“A collection of beautifully written stories of true life situations, that helps the reader discover the deep theological truths of God in warm, human stories of common grace. Each beguiling tale unfolds a spiritual truth that will stay with you for the day.” – The Publisher

What God Starts, God Completes: Help and Hope for Hurting People (Christian Focus Publications)

“In this self-disclosing autobiography, Dr. Mike Milton embraces the paradox of strength in weakness. The one who reads this volume runs the risk of finding freedom in captivity to Christ and power in the declaration of dependence on Christ.” - Dr. Robert Smith, Jr., Assoc. Professor, Beeson Divinity School of Samford University

“In this book you will read the account of a man who has been saved by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, set aside to serve Christ and thus an instrument of God to extend the glory of God and expand the Kingdom of God all by the power of God. Mike Milton’s life unfolded in such an intriguing and interesting manner in this volume reminds us that to be Gospel-saved is to be Gospel-driven and even more importantly to be captured by the love of Christ. Enjoy this page-turner and remember that this same Christ can be yours and you can be His.” Harry L. Reeder ~ Pastor of Preaching & Leadership, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama

“From my youth I have sung, ‘I love to tell the story to those who know it best [and] seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.’ Those who know the gospel of Jesus Christ’s saving love never tire of its themes and delight to hear them sung again in the lives of his children. Pastor Mike Milton knows the tune well because it has been sung so beautifully in his life. May this story of salvation bring praise again to our Savior and bring delight to those yet hungering and thirsting to be filled with the goodness of his grace.” Bryan Chapell ~ President, Covenant Theological Seminary, St Louis, Missouri
