This book grew out of the author's own experience with grief and loss from his fourteen-year-old daughter's death. He scoured books looking for comfort but found the Bible itself to be his greatest source of hope, comfort, wise counsel, and encouragement. After reviewing more than 200 books on grief and loss, he discovered that none investigated biblical passages oriented toward grief and loss themes. He set out to fill the huge, unmet need for a book that helps Christians embrace relevant Scriptures more fully and seriously in the midst of their mourning. The biblical selections deal with the hard questions, honest passions, and divine hope that only some who have walked down the path of sorrow could write about. Topics such as resurrection, the second coming, heaven, the resurrection body, doubt, anger, guilt, and dashed dreams are covered with great care to minister to the hearts of those who are grieving. Features and Benefits Foreword by best-selling author Randy Alcorn. Thoroughly focuses on Scriptures oriented to grief and loss more than any other book on the market. A prayer application at the end of each chapter focuses the readers' heart on spiritual growth through their time of grief and loss. Chapters are stand-alone and can be read in any order the reader chooses.

Everybody is destined to take this journey. Brothers, mothers, lawyers, teachers, spouses, pastors, childreneach will come to a day when suddenly a loved one dies and the grief journey begins. This is a trip nobody looks forward to taking. It is a lonely, one-way road that must be traveled by placing one foot in front of the other. There are no shortcuts, U-turns, or express lanes. In the beginning, the road is so clouded over with emotions, we cannot see the end or how anything good can ever come from our loss. Fortunately, God can. Mourning Break offers hope through personal stories and scriptural guidance for how to move forward with life. You will be able to reflect on Gods Word as it applies just to you. Take a break from your grief, and be reminded that joy, indeed, comes in the mourning.
