This book is like the comfort of a friend's warm embrace when the pain is not seen by the human eye nor the path one to be walked alone. This book left me comforted during a time of trials which left me asking God those "why" questions which He rarely answers on this earth. God never promised the absence of trials in our lives but He did promise growth in our trials. We can choose to hold onto the pain all by ourselves and experience limited growth or we can choose to let God and friends share our pain and in the sharing allow them to help us grieve and grow. From someone who has felt my share of pain thru life and whom has gone thru training to be a crisis counselor,I highly recommend this book to the person hurting and to the friend reaching out to another in pain. It is a book I reach for when the trials touch my heart and when another's heart needs an encouraging word from a friend. I would highly recommend this book as an outreach to be provided to anyone grieving a loss or questioning the "why" of a trial.

I had a really tough year. Cancer, divorce and infertility were all the issues that faced me. This little book is/was ENORMOUSLY comforting. I am buying several to give to others. The perfect gift when you don't know what to do or say for other people in their tough times.

This book was given to me and I found it to be a wonderful bedside book to pick up as I faced another day or ended a difficult day as I grieved for my loved one. It is a book of hope and yet does not lavish `platitudes' but instead God's love and comfort. It is a good choice when you want to hold out a hand to a friend.

I first found this book several years ago when I was traveling. My niece had just died and my sister (her mother) was really having a difficult time. I gave her this book, and she said it brought her a lot of comfort in the midst of her grief. Since then, I've purchased several of these books which I have given to people who have suffered a great loss.

I have bought many of these. I send this book to friends who have lost a loved one or have a serious illness. It is extremely inspiring and comforting.

Perhaps because I find great solace in nature, I have found this little book with beautiful photos, prayers, meditative thoughts, to be a great comfort and an excellent gift to those who are in mourning.
