God Of The Valley

By Steve Griffiths

God of the Valley is written from the author's own experience of grief, through the illness and eventual death of his wife at the age of 36, and also through his pastoral work as a church minister with bereaved families. He writes not as a trained counselor but as somebody who has found himself strengthened and comforted by God even in the darkest times. Beginning with the toughest question of all--why?--Griffiths weaves his personal story with reflections on the bible passages that over the years have come to mean the most to him.

The personal testimony of a church minister

God of the Valley: A Journey Through Grief is the personal testimony of a church minister who works with bereaved families, and who lost his own wife at the far too young age of thirty-six. Biblical passages are woven into this journey of faith in difficult times, which is penned as the personal experience of one who is strengthened and comforted by God rather than as a clinical advice book for grieving. A profound meditation on the sadness of life and the difficulty of moving on, as well as the immeasurable love of God.
