Review Quotes

The joy of life is often drowned out by the guarantee of death, but we have a hope and His name is Jesus!
-- Alistair Begg, Pastor of Parkside Church and author of "Truth for Life"

Emily understands how to help those with wounded hearts. She has collected a treasure trove of astounding stories that showcase overcoming grace, sacrificial love and undaunted courage.
-- Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disabilities Center and author of "A Place of Healing"

The last thing a person who is deeply grieving needs is a room full of chatty people or a standard-length book with point A and point B and a study guide that follows. Emily Curtis has captured exactly what someone who has suffered great loss needs in those moments when even close friends aren't enough. This book is a collection: a cornucopia of Scripture, hymns, sweet stories of God's comforting grace. In 2014, my wife of almost 45 years stepped into heaven. That's my story of loss. Maybe it's yours, too. Or it might be the story of someone you love who has suffered indescribable loss. Emily's book hadn't been published when Bobbie died in 2014. But if it had, this book would have been exactly what I would have needed. Thank you, Emily. Your book is a gift.
-- Robert Wolgemuth, Best-selling author of "Finish Line: Dispelling Fear, Finding Peace, and Preparing for the End of Your Life"
