Grieving God’s Way: The Path to Lasting Hope and Healing [A 90-Day Devotional]
By Margaret Brownley and Haiku By Diantha Ain
(Thomas Nelson Publishers, 2012)
A peaceful cover
marks the entrance of your journey through this book and through the pathway of
hope after a loved one has passed on from this earth. Whittled words evoke
gentleness and care, while sending a light of beauty into your darkened world;
there is a light of hope in your grief and you will find it.
“Grief knows no end,
but neither does God’s healing,” (Brownley, 2012, p. 197). Comprised of 90
daily devotionals, this book reads as if you were speaking with a good friend. Bible
verses, personal stories, poems, and insightful nuggets mix together to form
each of these devotionals that work to mist a strong current of hope in the
desert of grief.
The pages within
this book are embossed with light images of nature that enhance the experience
of reading. “Grieving God’s way requires us to trust that God will lead us
through the darkness, heal our pain, take away our weariness, and fill our
hearts with hope, peace, and new purpose,” (Brownley, 2012, p. 3). This book
would make an excellent read for yourself or a special present to someone who has lost a loved one.
