There is not one of us who will not hear of the loss of someone great or good in the next few days, or confront the reality of Psalm 89.48: ‘What man can live and not see death, or save himself from the power of the grave?’

So when a booklet addressing us on helping people with grief and loss, written by someone who has confronted this personally, and ministered for nearly 30 years to folk caught up in the midst of this, we find ourselves greatly helped.

The booklet is clear, full of insight, gracious and sensitive, yet pulls no punches with pastoral challenge to the readers. Questions are answered, and we are pointed clearly and so attractively to ‘expert help’ in the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is a brilliant help and will encourage us personally to help folk with the great issues of life and death.

It will also be a fantastic resource to give to others that we will inevitably encounter — even this week — caught up in the loss of a loved one.

Invest in buying a pack to share with others.
