He Said "Press": Hearing God Through Grief

This is a poweful book about loss and renewal. If you've lost a husband or someone close to you, you need to read this book.

A poignant, heartbreaking yet ultimately triumphant story of faith

An inspiring and powerful work...Patti describes her journey through the tragedy of sudden widowhood with heartbreaking honesty, revealing her faith through the ordeal with raw emotion that anyone facing a similar loss will instantly connect with. Her poetry thoughtfully explores the turmoil of any bereaved heart: the unanswered questions and periodic doubt, the aching loneliness and crushing burden of carrying on alone. But through it all she stubbornly refuses to quit trusting the God she knows and loves, learning and recognizing His unfailing love in ways we rarely consider. Clinging to Jesus through every unwelcome new circumstance, Patti's hope in the Risen Lord rings through every chapter in an exquisite testimony to the depths of faith few of us will ever reach. This book will encourage anyone facing a major life loss or difficult situation...a truly inspiring story of undying faith, hope and love.

Couldn't put it down...I've read it three times!

When I first read this book, I knew the author only as an acquaintance. Over the past year, I'm blessed to be able to call her a true friend. To date, I've read Patti's book three times. Each time I read it, I learn more about her as a person and even more about myself. Patti's frank, bittersweet and, at times humorous, retelling of her tragic loss and rock solid faith have help guide me back to my faith. The inclusion of her fabulous poetry throughout the book will give you a wonderful sense of her unwaivering faith. This book is not only a must-have for people dealing with grief but also for those of us struggling to develop a meaningful relationship with God. I highly recommend this book!
