Through The Valley Of Grief

$20.00

Honest and simple practices for grieving sincerely and hopefully with God in this accessible, year-long devotional full of scriptural insight and grounded hope.

Mattie Jackson draws on her experience of grieving the sudden death of her young husband to extend to you a safe and guided place to journey from devastating loss toward comfort and healing.

Whether your sorrow is recent, or you’re still feeling the ache of a loved one’s absence, or you’re lamenting a difficult situation, this book is an honest companion, validation for the hard days, and a sustaining guide to help soften the psychological stages of grief.

With Scripture-rich but brief devotions, this book is a daily reminder that God can be trusted, that He is near to the brokenhearted and His mercies and power are present with us even in the sacred place of suffering. Along with a helpful reflection question or invitation, each entry invites you to engage with one of four spiritual practices:
Wail for what you’ve lost and suffered to guide you through denial
Connect with the world around you to guide you through withdrawal
Honest Worship to guide you through bitterness and distrust
Hope for your present and future to guide you through despair

This year-long devotional honors both our human fragility and the God who is with us to help navigate our pain and restore our hearts. There are tears to be shed and hope to be found even here in the valley.
