Seasons of Suffering: Reflections on Grief, Doubt, and Mental Healing

By Shelby Marquardt

A hope-filled companion in a time of suffering.

In times of chaos and affliction, it's easy to fall into despair and hopelessness, to doubt God's goodness and love.

In the pit of suffering, sometimes the greatest antidote for the soul is knowing that we're not alone, to have someone take our hand and walk with us to the other side where we can emerge with more resilience, peace, and joy.

In her book, Seasons of Suffering, Shelby Marquardt offers profound encouragement for readers who find themselves battling with loss, depression, anxiety, and doubt. A writer and photographer, Marquardt has journeyed through her own despairing seasons of grief, clinical anxiety, and faith doubt, and has found deep reservoirs of hope in the Scriptures. Through stunning photography, reflective poems, and relevant Scripture, this unique book is a comfort in the midst of despair, an inspiring companion that offers wisdom, beauty, and peace.

Through these breathtaking pages and thoughtful meditations, readers will be invited to take a deep breath and encounter God's:
