Spiritual Grief

Grief. No matter how strong we are, no one is truly prepared for it. When we least expect it, grief rips the floor out from under us. There is truly no greater catastrophe in life, and yet it is something nearly all of us will go through. It is our own personal war that will eventually take everyone we know and love. While grief may seem like an unthinkable tragedy that no one can relate to, many have gone down this path before us. Our ancestors found great wisdom in grief. Ancient cultures and tribes from around the world have found comfort in the unimaginable, peace in the chaos, and ...

Death transforms not just the patient and family, but the hospice nurse as well. The stories in this book are presented with the hope that their transformation extends to you, too. Heidi Barr, R.N.

The Hurt Is Real… The hurts of spiritual trauma and abuse are real. They didn’t start with your church, but they do exist there. Why? Because people sin.

Review "This is a great little book on the place of Lament in the life of a believer, as well as how God uses the difficult times in our lives. Much more than a simple grin and bear it theology, it gets into the nitty gritty and shows that there will be times that we feel that we are almost completely pressed out, and that isn't all bad if we handle it well." - Rocky Woolery "Chapter 6 alone makes the book worth purchasing." - Alistair "I found this to be a very readable and helpful analysis of Psalm 88. Those who in their own life can relate to Heman's words should find help and comfort/...
