Comforting

Someone shared this book with me when my son died and it brought great comfort to my hurting heart. I have shared it with others who in turn have purchased copies to share with their hurting friends.

great

I have read and re-read this devotional, especially during my fiercest moments of personal grief, and now also give it as a gift when someone I love enters the journey of loss. Susan Lenzkes takes special care to empathize with the various stages and feelings of loss (she has experienced so much!), but doesn't leave you there... she always points the way back to God's Word and His ways, and with comforting words encourages the reader to experience the grace and healing of the Lord. A wonderful gift - from one who has been there! Truly an inspiring and uplifting devotional!

Review

I would recommend this book for every woman. Although everyone's loss, pain and suffering comes in a different flavor, the commanality of the grief is the same. Susan Lenzkes offers the comfort that she has found in a personal relationship with Christ to the reader. She offers assurance that you are not alone and isolated in your pain and that there is hope.
