| Publisher Description: Magnificent book. A beautiful, honest, and intimate portrayal of grief and faith. If you or someone you know has experienced a miscarriage, this book is for you. Dwight Clough, author, What It Means to Follow JesusThis book is a must read for anyone who has suffered through the devastating loss of a child through miscarriage. Even though this is a painful topic most do not want to talk about, it is one that has affected so many of us. Holly's story is a real look into a mother's journey of trusting God even in your darkest moments. Letting Him restore what has been lost, and giving you hope for the future with the promise of seeing your child again Lori Everson, author, Take Me as I AmThis book inspired me to look back on my life and realize that no matter how hard the past roads were, they were Holy because of Who walked with me. Kat Caldwell, author, Stepping Across the Desert"This kind of holy isn't neat and tidy and easy to understand. It is a painful kind of holy..." This is not a warm and fuzzy, feel good kind of book. Holly is brutally honest about the physical, emotional, and spiritual pain she experienced as a result of the miscarriage. But as I read of her search for God and her refusal to turn away from Him in the pain, I felt I was entering a holy place. Holly's choice to trust God in spite of not understanding the "why" led her deeper into His arms of love. There are no easy answers here...but in the end, a God who is faithful. Jadine Fritzler, Director of Hope for Life Pregnancy Help CenterJust finished your book... I love it. It is so real, and true. I see both the honest heartbreak and the deep sense of God's comfort. I love how it reminds us that both are true in life... deep pain AND God's sustaining presence. I also absolutely love the format; it's genius, to go from actual events, to scripture then your commentary/teaching Thank you for sharing it, it will minister to so many, women especially It's well written and powerful. Cheri Milton, Family Therapist and Grief CounselorThis book is Awesome. Will definitely be providing this as a resource for clients and friends. Holly's book shows God's redeeming grace during a time of great sorrow. Her words, raw and beautiful, provide the reader a genuine truth about miscarriage and the love of our heavenly Father. This devotional/book brings the reader through the depth of great pain but brings hope to a momma who is hurting. A must read for anyone experiencing the loss of a baby. Tammy M. Curtis, MA, LPC |
