A Grace Disguised Revised and Expanded

How the Soul Grows through Loss

De: Jerry L. Sittser

Narrado por: Tom Parks

With vulnerability and honesty, Jerry Sittser walks through his own grief and loss to show that new life is possible--one marked by spiritual depth, joy, compassion, and a deeper appreciation of simple and ordinary gifts. This 25th anniversary edition features a new introduction and two additional chapters, one which provides help for pastors and counselors.

Loss came suddenly for Jerry Sittser. In an instant, a tragic car accident claimed three generations of his family: his mother, his wife, and his young daughter. While most of us will not experience such a catastrophic loss in our lifetime, all of us will face some kind of loss in life. But we can, if we choose, know the grace that transforms us.

Whether your suffering has come in the form of chronic illness, disability, divorce, unemployment, crushing disappointment, or the loss of someone you love, Sittser will help you put your thoughts into words in a way that will guide you deeper into your own healing process.

This revised edition of A Grace Disguised plumbs the depths of our sorrows, asks questions many people are afraid to ask, and provides hope in its answers:

• Will the pain ever subside?
• Will my life ever be good again?
• Will the depression ever lift?
• Will I ever overcome the bitterness I feel?
• What is God's plan in all of this?

The circumstances are not important; what we do with those circumstances is. In coming to the end of ourselves, we can come to the beginning of a new life.

Loved listening to this book’

I read this book for the first time 6 years ago and have visited during challenging times of my grief through the years.

Listening this time as I continue to mourn my husband’s transition, has been very good for my soul. I listened as I drove on distances with my work as a Realtor.

I will continue to listen to it and I’m very grateful for this media to continue to enlarge my experience of how I have responded to my mourning. Thank you Audiobook!

I enjoyed listening to this book more than reading it!

The advise he offers to those of us who have experienced a life altering experience.

I liked the narrator. He was expressive and interesting. The flow of the book was excellent and easy to follow

A help in time of need

This book was a Godsend during a time of deep mourning. I encourage those walking through any type of grief to read it.
