Description
‘When my life seemed burnt to ashes, the last thing I coould cope with was reading lengthy Bible passages, yet the Bible contains many verses which encourage and comfort people who are grappling with grief and loss. I began collecting these verses and sticking them all over my kitchen walls! My favourite verse reminded me that God could transform the ashes of my life into something new and beautiful. This book grew out of my collection of “kitchen verses”, combined with some of the practical tips and helpful ideas for those adjusting to loss of various kinds, given to me at the time by others who know how it feels from personal experience.’ This is a book for keeping by the bedside, for dipping into just for a few moments every day, offering help along the way for the hardest of times. Jennifer Rees Larcombe has written 22 books and many magazine articles. She writes a problem page for WHOLENESS magazine and writes for DAY BY DAY WITH GOD, Bible reading notes published jointly by BRF and Christina Press. She is also a trained counsellor, working for the Beauty from Ashes Trust which was set up to help people cope with loss and trauma. ‘Through many struggles of her own, Jen has developed an amazing capacity to get to the heart of the matter. I am sure this book will be invaluable to many hurting people.’ Fiona Castle
