From Grief to Glory: A Book of Comfort for Grieving Parents (James W. Bruce)
$10.75$12.00
“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

“I can say from the perspective of a pastor, that this book has significant value for ministering to Christians who have lost children. I have been moved to tears while reading it. The book is useful, among other reasons, simply in reminding us that so many of God’s faithful people have suffered in the same way.” — James M. Boice

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.

Facing Grief: Counsel for Mourners (John Flavel) (#10)
$8.75From a Puritan minister who faced many sufferings in his life, including the death of his first – and second wife, along with persecution, comes this volume of outstanding counsel, originally titled “A Token for Mourners.”
The work is intended to provide biblical comfort to ‘godly mourners’. This book is full of Scripture, counsel, warning, and wisdom gained from prayerful reflection on the personal experience of affliction in loss and grief.
For over 150 years Flavel’s Token for Mourners was printed and re-printed in England and America. The times demanded that the heart-breaking experience of the loss of children be faced by most parents. And generations of Christian parents found comfort through this little book.
