Comfort, not Sermons

When we are hurting we don't always want to hear that we should "cheer up and trust God." Sometimes we just plain want to cry! Susan helps us cry through our pain to a loving God who is tenderly listening. Then she soothes our pain helping to give us strength to make it another day through scripture, encouragement, poems, and true life stories from the heart. Susan is very familiar with pain...cancer stole first her Mom, then her Dad, and finally seven months later it claimed her husband Herb of 32 years. Shortly after that she lost her Mother-in-law to strokes. In her own words, "When you lose so much that's precious, you find the rain that is falling in your life is more from your eyes than from the skies." This is the book I want to curl up with when pain finds its way to me (and it will) and this is the book I want to share with my dear friends when they need gentle comforting, not a sermon. Unfortunately, there will come a time in everyone's life when they are going to need this book ... get it now so your comfort is just an arm's reach away.
