I read it within a few weeks of the unexpected deaths of two close friends and while my wife struggles bravely with stage 4 cancer. Tims heartfelt pain and Christ-centered perspective spoke to both my heart and my head. * Randy Alcorn, author of Heaven and If God Is Good *Seasons of Sorrow is a beautiful book. Reading it is like holding a precious gift, like standing on holy ground. * Paul David Tripp, pastor, speaker, author of New Morning Mercies and Suffering: Gospel Hope When Life Doesnt Make Sense *Believers need this book, and only Tim Challies could have written it. I am so thankful that Nick was a student at Boyce College, and his influence as a young Christian was remarkable. * Albert and Mary Mohler *If ever there was a book Tim Challies needed to write, its this one. And its a book I needed to read. Within these pages, you will do more than enter Tims story of enormous loss; you will come out on the other side having gained a softer heart and a renewed courage to persevere through your own dark seasons of affliction. * Joni Eareckson Tada, founder of the Joni and Friends International Disability Center *If you have lost a loved one to death, as everyone has, or if you have buried a child, as many have, Tim Challies is your friend. Your brother. Your lifeline. * Robert and Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth, bestselling authors *In the pages of this book, grieving people will find companionship, insight, and genuine encouragement for the journey. * Nancy Guthrie, author of Hearing Jesus Speak into Your Sorrow and cohost of Respite Retreats for grieving parents *This book is brilliant, not because of Tim Challiess eloquence, but because of his tears! The buoyancy of faith that shines from every page often left me teary-eyed, thanking God for his grace to his people during their darkest times. What priceless grace! * Conrad Mbewe, pastor of Kabwata Baptist Church and founding chancellor of the African Christian University *Tim Challies has taken us into his confidence by writing with such self-searching honesty. It is a painful pleasure to be invited into these sacred moments of grief and to be helped by the reminder that God is too kind ever to be cruel and too wise ever to make a mistake. * Alistair Begg, senior pastor, Parkside Church, and host of the Truth for Life radio program * Review Quote If ever there was a book Tim Challies needed to write, its this one. And its a book I needed to read. Within these pages, you will do more than enter Tims story of enormous loss; you will come out on the other side having gained a softer heart and a renewed courage to persevere through your own dark seasons of affliction.
