Blessings for a Grieving Mother

When a mother's worst fear happens...

These devotions will guide and encourage her and those who wish to help her. This book has grown from the premise that when God allows tragedy, he sends blessings to bring about his calling of perfection on our lives. Since the years when my two daughters died of cancer, I have found grief to be a time of gentle spiritual awakening—when eyes are opened to new realities and hearts find peace and answers. This book holds stories from friends and my own life which I pray will point you to Jesus in the Psalms. There you will discover the beautiful work he is weaving in your life and the hope to which you've been called.
