Girl On The Bathroom Floor
Original price was: $29.99.Current price is: $20.97.

The Girl on the Bathroom Floor is a raw and unflinching look at the moments most never share, the ones behind closed doors, on the bathroom floor, in your car, or hidden in the closet–where pain, fear, and grief seem to hit hardest. It’s also a promise that, even there, you are still tenderly held by a God who grieves with you and offers you hope through suffering even when everything else is falling apart.

Amber Smith, wife of former country music artist, Granger Smith invites you into the most vulnerable spaces of her life, behind the closed doors where she wrestled with the traumatic and heartbreaking death of their three-year-old son, River. Amber opens the door to the unseen pain and the relentless ache following his death, the countless tears shed in private, along with the soul altering aftermath of a life forever changed.

But even before River’s tragic passing, Amber was no stranger to tears on the bathroom floor. From the pressures of motherhood, family members experiencing addiction, broken relationships, and feelings of helplessness while watching loved ones suffer, Amber explores what to do when faced with all the types of pain that can drive you to your knees.
For the one who wants to:

*discover where God is in a world of hurt;
*navigate private pain with grace and grit;
*find hope and joy in the midst of suffering; and
*uncover the power of faith through the darkest of times

Amber offers her story of despair but not defeat, to illustrate how grief does not have to separate you from hope or joy. In fact, it can lead you to it. This book aims to serve as a compass for those feeling unseen and undone, pointing towards the true source of profound healing, our Savior Jesus. The Girl on the Bathroom Floor sheds light on the dark shadows of hurt so many endure, offering hope through your season of sorrow.

When death touches your family, you are never quite prepared. Complicating your personal pain and the need to grieve is the equally important task of helping your children understand and process the loss of a loved one.

Drawing from their own personal and professional experience, Erin Nelson and Colleen Montague help you navigate loss alongside your child. They provide honest ways to talk to your child about death according to age and stage of development and offer ideas on how to process, honor, and integrate loss.

Lay Me In Gods Good Earth
$21.99

A Christian case for natural burial

The promises of the Christian gospel are never more precious or more beautiful than in the context of death and burial. And yet current burial practices in Western society are archaic and impersonal. They fail to confront us with the reality of death, and they make it harder to process death or to grieve properly.

Kent Burreson and Beth Hoeltke have been teaching a Christian understanding of death and natural burial for many years. They argue that natural burial-laying the body into the earth in a way that allows it to decompose naturally-is not only better for the environment but is also a more accurate picture of Christian hope of the resurrection. Grounded in sound Christian teaching about death and burial, they advocate for natural burial and offer practical instructions for navigating the complex questions around burial practices.

Lay Me in God’s Good Earth is not only an immensely practical guide to natural burial; it is also an application of the hope of the resurrection to those grieving the loss of their loved ones.

Now That Shes Gone
$66.65

The day your mother dies is the day you acquire a powerful and persistent new companion–grief. It is also the day you become the keeper of a legacy that has the potential to affect generations to come. Between a past you can’t let go of and a future you can hardly find the energy to think about, you stand. The ground may feel shaky, but it is sacred. And it must be tread.

With vulnerability and honesty, Chelsea Ohlemiller walks you through her own journey of grief at the loss of her mother in order to help you along yours. These raw reflections on heartbreak, love, and hope in the midst of sorrow can help you put words to your own tangled feelings when you are speechless with grief. Chelsea does not couch her narrative in spiritual jargon or edit her feelings into “acceptable” sentiments that ultimately mean nothing and help no one. Instead, she invites you to be radically honest about your anger, disbelief, and sorrow so that you can move forward even if it feels like you will never be able to move on.

Whether you had a great relationship with your mother or a complicated one, you will find in this book a compassionate and understanding friend for the days, months, and years to come.

Lemons On Friday
$19.99

When your life is suddenly full of questions, how do you move forward in faith?

After being married for less than a year, country music legend Alan Jackson’s daughter Mattie was faced with navigating a future that didn’t include her young husband and the life they dreamed of together.

Ben Selecman passed away twelve days after suffering a traumatic brain injury–and three weeks before celebrating his first anniversary with his wife. Suddenly, twenty-eight-year-old Mattie had to find a way to reconcile herself with a good God, even when He did not give her the healing miracle she prayed for.

In Lemons on Friday, Mattie Jackson Selecman invites you to walk with her during the first years of grief following Ben’s tragic death as she grapples with her loss and leans on a steadfast God.

Mattie wrestles with questions that we’ve all faced in the midst of grief and loss, including:

*How did I get here?
*Will this always hurt?
*Who am I now?
*Where can I find the strength to keep going?

Lemons on Friday will give you the encouragement you need to see life and love in a brand new light, no matter what you’re facing.

Courageously Expecting : 30 Days Of Encouragement For Pregnancy After Loss
$18.99

Using Scripture and personal narrative, Courageously Expecting empathizes with and empowers women to face a pregnancy after loss with faith and courage, despite inevitable feelings of grief and fear that accompany life after losing a baby.

Pregnancy is widely regarded as the most joyful time in a woman’s life, but for the mother who has experienced pregnancy loss, a subsequent pregnancy can feel like she’s holding her breath and hoping for what she can’t control. In Courageously Expecting, Jenny Albers meets women in this difficult season as someone who has also experienced the worst and cautiously hoped for the best. Through the telling of her own story, Scripture, and heartfelt prayer, she encourages readers to cling to faith in the face of fear and guides them to:
*cultivate hope when doubt weighs heavy;

*realize that the past does not dictate the present or the future and that God creates a way in the wilderness of grief and loss;

*flip the script on the what-if, worst-case-scenario narrative in their minds and learn to take their thoughts captive; and

*find the courage to humble themselves and ask for and accept help from others.

Regardless of where readers are on their pregnancy after loss journey, Courageously Expecting is a companion to help them through the days when fear overshadows hope.

Beautiful And Terrible Things
$22.00

With deep faith, knowledge of Scripture, and the wisdom that comes only from experience, Brady guides readers grieving losses and setbacks of all kinds in voicing their lament to God, reflecting on the nature of human existence, and persevering in hope. Brady finds that rather than an image of God managing every event and action in our lives, the biblical account describes the very real world in which we all live, a world full of hardship and calamity that often comes unbidden and unmerited. Yet, it also is a world into which God lovingly intrudes to bring comfort, peace, and grace.

Bible scholar Christian Brady, an expert on Old Testament lament, was as prepared as a person could be for the death of a child-which is to say, not nearly well enough. When his eight-year-old son died suddenly from a fast-moving blood infection, Brady heard the typical platitudes about accepting God’s will and knew that quiet acceptance was not the only godly way to grieve.
