Comfort for All Our Losses

This book offers real comfort. The author's voice is sincere and heartfelt, and his real-life experiences strengthen the book's message of hope. The following paragraph is typical of his positive faith: "Our responsibility is to hold fast to God, to snuggle close so nothing can come between us. His part is to cover us with His love, to encourage and nourish us with His life that we may be fruitful in our service to Him, no matter what conditions surround us." God loves us unconditionally and nothing can come between us and God's love--that is this book's message.

Thoughts on the Dawn of Hope

I was touched deeply by this book. I read it with tears streaming down my cheeks and felt the author's terrible heartbreak and yet, through all that he had experienced, his unshakeable faith in God comes through loud and clear. As I've begun to share this book with friends who are grieving, I keep getting requests about where they can get more copies. The chapters are short and easy to read and before you know it, you've read the entire book. I'd suggest buying several copies because you'll want to share it.

A Wonderful Book

Reading this book is like sitting down with your grandfather, some kind, wise old man who knows what he's talking about because he's lived it all. When he says that there's hope even in the darkest, most awful grief, I believe him--because his own experience proves his credibility. This is a wonderful book for anyone who is experiencing any kind of loss or grief or even discouragement. God's unconditional love jumps out at the reader from every page. It's the sort of book you read straight through--and then pick up and read a page here and a page there over and over. I highly recommend it and thank the author for caring enough to share his faith with others who are going through pain.
