40 Days - Time with God (Dealing with Loss and Grief) - E-book - ePub

This devotional is for everyone because, as the saying goes, 'everyone smiles in the same language, and everyone grieves in the same language.' Grief is grief whether you grieve in English or Swahili or Japanese. The devotionals contained in this book are as real as we can get." Rt Rev Lydia Neshangwe. Moderator - Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa (UPCSA), Moderator - Council for World Mission (CWM), President - All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) 40 Days - Time with God (Dealing with Loss and Grief) is a devotional book for those in the ministry, those who have lost loved ones, or who work with the dying and their loved ones.
It is a compilation of words, thoughts, and insights from sixteen separate contributors who have seen and felt the impact of loss both personally and in their respective fields. Shortly after work on this book began, co-author Pat Baxter was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. She went to be with the Lord less than two months after receiving the diagnosis.
