Someone I Know Is Grieving: Responding with Humility and Compassion (Edward T. Welch)
$9.99Bestselling author and counselor Edward T. Welch walks readers through the difficult task of coming alongside grieving people with genuine compassion and humility.
When someone is grieving, it can be hard to know what to say or do. We want to be helpful, not hurtful, but it’s easy to go wrong. The good news is that we can learn to approach those who are grieving with the same compassion that Jesus shows us when we are grieving. It starts with humility and listening well and expands into practical support as the Spirit leads us.
In Someone I Know Is Grieving, Edward T. Welch leans on his many years of counseling grieving people to help readers learn from their compassionate Savior how to respond to people’s sadness and hard times without advice or trying to “fix it,” but to instead hear their story, learn from others’ experiences, and depend on the Spirit for wisdom for what to say and do.

Where Is God When It Hurts? (Philip Yancey)
$13.99Gold Medallion Book Award Winner. Over a million copies sold.
An inspirational classic for more than thirty years, Where Is God When It Hurts? honestly explores pain—from physical wounds to emotional and spiritual pain—and sheds new light on God’s presence in our suffering.
“How can a loving God allow this to happen? God is either all-loving or all-powerful, but he can’t be both.”
You’ve heard that question, and perhaps you’ve even asked it yourself. When a loved one dies, we receive a terminal diagnosis, or natural disasters strike, people often wonder whether God is the cause of suffering and why he doesn’t immediately take away the pain or fix the situation. As a result, we become angry at the once-beloved God who betrayed us.

From Grief to Glory: A Book of Comfort for Grieving Parents (James W. Bruce)
$10.75“There are few joys to match that which a child brings to a family. And even fewer sorrows that rival the pain of burying a child. James Bruce and his wife, Joni, knew that pain when their infant son died. They found comfort in the words of others who had known similar loss: fellow Christians such as Martin Luther, Charles Spurgeon, and John Bunyan, who also wept and yet were comforted by the Father of mercies.
Their intimate, emotional expressions of pain, peace, and hope and their prevailing faith , are shared throughout these pages in both the short accounts and the eloquent poetry gathered here. If you or a loved one is walking through the valley of weeping – especially at the loss of a son or daughter , know that you are not alone, and let those who have come before remind you of your heavenly Father’s sovereign grace and the mystery of joy in the midst of suffering.” — Joni Eareckson Tada

The Crook in the Lot (Thomas Boston) (#49)
$7.95What to Believe when our lot in life is not health, wealth, and happiness
Thomas Boston (1676-1732) was a remarkable Scottish theologian and pastor. His Works run to 12 volumes and contain some lengthy theological treatises. But Boston also wrote brief, very accessible, and pastoral books, and chief among these is the quaintly titled, The Crook in the Lot: The Sovereignty and Wisdom of God, in the Afflictions of Men Displayed. This little book is a pastoral masterpiece, in which Boston reflects on the words of Ecclesiastes 7:13, ‘Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight which he hath made crooked?’
By ‘lot’, Boston means our ‘lot in life’, the shape of our lives as they are styled by God’s many providences. By ‘crook’, he means those unforeseen troubles that afflict, unsettle, or disturb us in any way. Boston sets out to minister pastoral wisdom and help to God’s people experiencing what Paul calls ‘the sufferings of this present time’ (Rom. 8:18).

Grieving: Your Path Back to Peace (James White)
$11.50An excellent summary of the key issues related to grief, and in a brief, readable form that a grieving person will read and not be overly daunted by. Using personal examples and his background as a grief counselor, pastor James White shares words that every pastor, every counselor, every person facing loss, and anyone that wants to help those who are, should read.
People in grief wonder if they will ever feel okay again. Not only do you face overwhelming emotions of loss, you can feel discouraged or even ashamed when your grief doesn’t disappear quickly or happen in neat, orderly stages. For all people who have experienced loss, moments of joy and normalcy mix with moments of sadness and anger. Being moved once again by painful emotions you thought you had tamed isn’t a setback. It’s part of an upward process of healing. And when you allow your grief to be accompanied by hope in God, grieving can be your path back to peace.
