5.0 out of 5 stars Answered Prayer, January 7, 2003

Pat Nelms-Christian Counselor (Atlanta GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Christian's Perspective: Journey Through Grief (Paperback)

When i read this book, I had to contact Ms Lipsey personally to tell her how God spoke through her. I have worked with and counseled people who are not only grieving over the death of someone they love but some are grieving over losing a job or health. Ms Lipsy book covers everything about grief from a christian viewpoint. I can tell that she wrote it from her heart and that it must have been hard for her to do. I've never read a book that is so open and candid and so touching! Ms Lipsey said that A Journey Through Grief was her first book in the Christian Perspective series. I believe that so many people are going to find healing and comfort by reading her story. I can't wait until she comes out with another one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicate but frank..., April 24, 2006

This review is from: A Christian's Perspective: Journey Through Grief (Paperback)

A Christian's Perspective: A Journey Through Grief by Shelia E. Lipsey is a candid view and personal testimony of how devastating death can be. After losing her fianc? to a violent death, and then later experiencing the tragic terrorist act of 9/11 along with the rest of the nation, Ms. Lipsey was impelled to pen this inspirational and informative novella. Death can be frightening from many views-fear of not seeing loved ones again or perhaps dreading the journey of life without them. Ms. Lipsey's book is delicate but frank about the detrimental effects anxiety can cause to our well-being.

Often there are times when death is sudden and unexpected. A Christian's Perspective: A Journey Through Grief encourages readers with topics such as Allow Yourself to Grieve, Cling to God, and Faith vs. Trust. Ms. Lipsey substantiates her analysis with scriptures which evoke readers' confidence in the ability to move on while journeying through grief.

A Christian's Perspective: A Journey Through Grief reiterated some things I'd already learned, but had dismissed because of mourning. I was reminded that God had not left me, and that I'm not alone in my time of sorrow. Reading Ms. Lipsey's commanding story of her loss helped me to understand that I am not the only one who has experience the sudden death of a loved one. I felt alone-like I couldn't live without my beloved brother, and that it was unfair for him to die before me. A Christian's Perspective was affirmation that I could and should go on without feeling guilty.

Congregations, schools, and even workplaces can benefit from A Christian's Perspective. I predict Oprah and bestsellers lists nationwide will soon get wind of this influential testimony. Kudos to Ms. Lipsey for having strength and the will to inspire and share her experience.

This review is from: A Christian's Perspective: Journey Through Grief (Paperback)

A Christian's Perspective (Journey Through Grief) by Shelia E. Lipsey...I loved it and I needed it!!! I called and told Shelia how it helped me through the healing process of losing both my parents a month apart...I told Shelia, God helped her write this book, and just for me. Your entire book was wonderful and the Juniper Tree Effect was something you added that created a new strength in the right direction. I've also started your other book ,"Always, Now and Forever"...I really admire Clarye...and draw strength from her in my own writing...I recommend this book for others to read and especially those who have lost a loved one. Thanks Shelia for helping me!!!
