Penguin Putnam Inc Finding the Words
Book SynopsisA powerful account of one father’s journey through unimaginable grief, offering readers a new vision for how to more actively and fully mourn profound loss. When Colin Campbell’s two teenage children were killed by a drunk driver, Campbell was thrown headlong into a grief so deep he felt he might lose his mind. He found much of the common wisdom about coping with loss—including the ideas that grieving is a private and mysterious process and that the pain is so great that “there are no words”—to be unhelpful. Drawing on what he learned from his own journey, Campbell offers an alternative path for processing pain that is active and vocal and truly honors loved ones lost. Full of practical advice on how to survive in the aftermath of loss, Finding the Words teaches readers how to actively reach out to their community, perform mourning rituals, and find ways to express their grief, so they c

Random House USA Inc Refuge An Unnatural History of Family and Place
Book SynopsisIn the spring of 1983 Terry Tempest Williams learned that her mother was dying of cancer. That same season, The Great Salt Lake began to rise to record heights, threatening the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and the herons, owls, and snowy egrets that Williams, a poet and naturalist, had come to gauge her life by. One event was nature at its most random, the other a by-product of rogue technology: Terry's mother, and Terry herself, had been exposed to the fallout of atomic bomb tests in the 1950s. As it interweaves these narratives of dying and accommodation, Refuge transforms tragedy into a document of renewal and spiritual grace, resulting in a work that has become a classic.

Will this alwaysTrade Review'Lemons on Friday is a beautiful and raw depiction of what grief can look like and a hopeful testament to how God can take life's most painful situations and weave them into an incredible masterpiece. Mattie is a wonderfully gifted writer and storyteller whose ability to capture the rollercoaster of loss and faith in God's promises is unparalleled.' --Shannon Frazier, MMFT (marriage and family therapist)'An honest and vulnerable peek into the healing spaces between love, grief, hope, growth, and true restoration. Attainable by all, through God's mercy and grace, especially for the 258 million widows globally we are called to care for in their distress. This is an answer to that divine call.' --Carolyn Moor, founder, Modern Widows Club'Mattie's story carries you through a valley of unbearable heartbreak, and in the very next moment you are experiencing an ocean of peace that is the heartbeat of Jesus. Her honesty and vulnerability in this book are a beacon of light to any heart that has experienced total darkness. The courage and wisdom expressed through her words will inspire hope in readers, no matter their walk of life.' --Lauren Akins, author of the New York Times bestseller Live in Love: Growing Together Through Life's Changes'No matter what the format--songs, books, and so on--writing allows us to share experiences with and enter into the lives of people we may never meet face to face. For all those who pick up this book, they are welcomed into Mattie's personal story of heartbreak and are reminded in the midst of their own pain: you are not alone, and hope is never really out of reach.' --Lee Ann Womack, Grammy-winning, ACM-winning, and CMA-winning recording artist'The most honest, vulnerable, and completely beautiful look inside loss and grief.

Lemons on Friday is a lifeline for those who have suffered loss and those who seek to find joy in life again.' --Liz Allison, NASCAR analyst, author, and radio host'There is a sisterhood among all of us who have been widowed at far too young of an age. That's where our story intersected with Mattie's. She's wonderful, witty, and wise beyond her years. In Lemons on Friday she takes us all on a journey that is less about making lemonade out of lemons and more about looking to faith for transformational healing. Her story of loss, with hope, reminds us that partnering with Christ can turn the bitter sorrows of life into something far sweeter than we could ever accomplish on our own.' --Rachel Brown and Ginger Ravella, founders, Be Still Ministries and Never Alone Widows Retreats'Too often, as Christians, we have no idea how to approach grief. We either stuff it down, dismiss it, 'Jesus juke' one another, or end up drowning in it. The church needs Mattie's story because, through it, she teaches us something about what it looks like to grieve honestly but with hope.' --Rachel Joy Welcher, editor at Fathom magazine and author of Talking Back to Purity Culture'When a tea bag gets steeped in hot water, the true content and nature of what's inside the bag, whether sweet or bitter, is revealed. The same is true of people when their lives become steeped in unexpected sorrow and loss. I will never forget how the sweet aroma of Christ, even and especially through honest yet noncynical, humble tears, came out of Mattie when she lost her beloved husband, Ben. I am thankful that she has gone more public with her story, so that others can see in it the goodness of God in times when they need him most.' --Scott Sauls, senior pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church and author of Jesus Outside the Lines and A Gentle Answer

Beacon Press Love Death My Journey Through the Valley of the
Book SynopsisNearing his final days, a beloved Unitarian minister meditates on life, love, and death: “The goal is to live in such a way that our lives will prove worth dying for.” On a February day in 2008, Forrest Church sent a letter to the members of his congregation, informing them that he had terminal cancer; his life would now be measured in months, not years. He went on to promise that he would sum up his thoughts on the topics that had been so pervasive in his work—love and death—in a final book.Church has been justly celebrated as a writer of American history, but his works of spiritual guidance have been especially valued for their insight and inspiration. As a minister, Church defined religion as our human response to the dual reality of being alive and having to die. The goal of life, he tells us is to live in such a way that our lives will prove worth dying for. Love & Death is imbued with ideas and exemplars for ach
