Cracks in My Cup: Biblical Reflections on Motherhood and Loss

By: Emily Anne Lawson

Book Overview

Grief blindsides even the most faithful Christ-followers. While we know faith in God will not prevent us from ever facing suffering, our suffering can be lessened if the people of God were better equipped to walk in it and heal through it together. "Cracks in My Cup" is an honest reflection from a pastor's wife and mom of three toddlers navigating parenting children with trauma and the unexpected loss of her dad. This gentle companion will equip the grieving Christian with Biblical truths about God's sovereignty, how our suffering makes us more like Christ, and the role our church family can play in our healing. In this book, you'll journey with the author as she asks--and uncovers--truths to the following questions: Where are we to turn when the world around us--even our brothers and sisters in our own church family--move on too quickly from the tragedy that's brought us to a screeching halt? Is there a greater purpose to why we're now facing this unimaginable grief? Are our loved ones really watching over us? Can we confidently say that God is working for our good even though it's the last thing we want to hear? While the grief of loss will journey with you for the rest of your days, you will come to know Christ's presence is more permanent than your grief.
