Description

This book takes a unique approach in providing comfort and support to those in the midst of crisis. A collection of poems, hymns, scripture verses and essays, it relates honest expressions of heart ache, confusion, as well as reconciliation, and restoration. A hope filled book, it walks with the sufferer through his crisis stages, sharing with him poignant observations from some of the most articulate and gifted writers this world has known. Observations of their own personal and absorbing crisis events. Poets like Aline Kilmer, wife to Joyce Kilmer, also a poet, who was killed during World War I. How beautifully she expresses the void left in her heart and life caused by his abrupt absence. But, also poets like Edna St. Vincent Milay and Robert Myers, who, struggling with depression, plead for someone to see them, to reach out, and sit with them a while. Sorrow is a human condition, one we were not made for, but chose to embrace, and choose to embrace. Although born into it, through Jesus we can be restored and find joy, even in the darkest of moments. Through Christ we can turn adversity into strength and devastation into restoration. We can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens us. Mourn …. Hope…. Believe
