God in the Dark

"God in the Dark" was given to me 3 weeks after the death of my husband by a grief counselor. For 3 days I immersed myself in its contents and cried many tears on every page since it mirrored what my husband and I had experienced.The author is a superb writer. However, it was not until the second reading (several months later) that I found great value in the spiritual elements of this book. Her ability to see God at work in nature, and her expressive selections of poetry, spoke clearly to me that God continues to love and care for his children in all situations, even death of a loved one.

This book connected me with some of my deepest emotions.

Luci's generosity in sharing the process of her grieving during the terminal illness and after the death of her husband can be a source of inspiration and encouragement, particularly for Christian people, who have experiences losses of their own. I would recommend it wholeheartedly, and I fervently hope that Zondervan will reprint it....It is definitely needed.
