Customer Reviews

This book touched my heart, soul and mind

The timing of a writing like this is divine, especially with our country at war. This book would benifit anyone who has lost a dear loved one. Reading this book touched my life and pulled at my emotions in a way that was...comforting. Being a military family we want to thank Marlo for her sincerity and for giving us a tool to pass on.

Authentic and Personal

This is such an authentic and personal book. It will help anyone who is struggling with loss, even if it is not the loss of a spouse. I highly recommend this book to those with fresh wounds who need to begin the healing process.

I have already given 4 copies of this book as gifts!!!

Marlo's compelling story of her own journey through the valley of grief and mourning offers hope and encouragment to those who are traveling a similar road. This books reads as if you are sitting with Marlo in her kitchen over a cup of coffee as she tells her story. You will laugh with her and cry with her as she shares her life and her heart. I highly recommend this book not only to those who have experienced loss, but to anyone who appreciates stories of love, faith, and redemption.

There is LIFE after tragedy

I see amazing strength and hope in Marlo Peddycord-Francis. Tragedy oftens strips life and hope, but Marlo stands true to the Gospel of the Kingdom and runs to Jesus for life. As a funeral director, I see this work as an answer to prayer for those dealing with loss and disappointment. Every funeral home needs to offer this book to families regardless of the circumstances.

No matter what sort of loss you are experiencing, this life-changing book offers soothing comfort, real strength, and peace that passes all understanding.
