No matter what the circumstances, death shakes us to the core. It seems so wrong, and it is! We long for comfort, but we don't know where to look.

Chaplain and spiritual counselor Andrea Raynor knows that when the funeral service is over, the friends leave, and the house grows quiet, grief can be overwhelming. In The Alphabet of Grief, she uses the letters of the alphabet as starting points for simple reflections on loss and hope.

Find spiritual companionship in these brief but powerful thoughts on the sacred journey of grief.

Death and the treatment of the dead body loom large in our collective cultural consciousness. The authors explore the materiality and meaning of the dead body and the living's relationship to it. All the biggest questions facing the planetary human community relate in one way or another to the corpse. Surprisingly, Christian communities are largely missing in the discussion of the dead, having abdicated the historic role in care for the dead to the funeral industry.

Finding Joy in the Midst of Grief takes its listeners along twists and turns as the author walks through the tunnel of grief while dealing with the loss of her husband of 44 years. It is not easy to accept life when God takes something cherished from your grasp. As you listen through the pathway traveled, you will find that God does not punish us; rather, He opens our hands and hearts to receive what He has for those of us who remain until our own journey comes to an end. You will learn that the will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.

Grief isn't on our radar until we're in the midst of it. You don't wake up one morning expecting someone so young and full of energy, someone you love and care about so much...to die. But then there it is. The fierce, dark, and consuming storm. Not just the kind that rains. The kind that tears and uproots. We will all have to face one at some time in our lives.

When we are lost in the storms of grief, only God can pierce the darkness. How can a broken, bewildered woman who lost her sister, a brilliant PhD nurse, to suicide, her youngest son to respiratory distress caused by an accidental drug-alcohol interaction, on the night of her brother-in-law's memorial service, her sister-in-law to cancer, four years to the day after her son's death, want to get out of bed and live - out loud and in color? Simple. God revealed Himself to her and breathed life back into every nook and cranny of her very being.

This is the second book in Rev. Dr. Wiley's "Am I?" series. In this volume the focus is on heaven. The Rev. Dr. Wiley presents biblical definitions of the three heavens, two of which we can see with our own eyes. He then proceeds to help Christians understand how they might be certain of their final destination. Then, of course, if that final destination isn't the one they hoped for, he simply gives biblical standards for how one can assure an eternal place in heaven.

Discover the Good in Your Bad Times. No one wants to endure heartache or suffering. No one would voluntarily choose to lose a job or a home, to experience the breakdown of a cherished relationship, to vicariously suffer through a child’s anguish and heartbreak, to lose one’s health. Yet it is often through difficult circumstances such as these that God stretches us–and even blesses us–the most. Some Strength Only Comes Through Struggle. Ironically, our most significant growth occurs not during times of good fortune, but during periods of trauma. God does not want all our doors to be...

But what do you do when this "life to the fullest" feels so far away? What do you do when the deepest longing of your soul groans for more than what you are experiencing? If there is "life to the fullest," how do we even begin to find it, and then how do we begin to extend it to others? In his most poetic and thought-provoking work to date, Brandon Andress makes the surprising discovery that, even in the heartache, the hostility, the division, the violence, and the oppression, experiencing "life to the fullest," a life of shalom, is not just possible, it can be our present reality.

Life doesn't always work out the way we planned. Things happen that we have no control over, and circumstances seem overwhelming. I never thought I'd marry an abusive man - a man whose mental demons turned him into two different people. I never imagined being a widow at the age of 38. I never dreamed that one decision could so profoundly change my life and my viewpoint of mental illness. I didn't know how much I still had to learn about myself.

Let these prayers ease your heart and be companions for your own grief journey. Grief is a fragile and intimate process.
