Leanne Friesen thought she knew a lot about bereavement. She had studied it in school and preached at memorial services. But only when her own sister died from cancer did she learn, in her very bones, what grieving people don't need—and what they do. In Grieving Room, Friesen writes with vulnerability, wisdom, and somehow even wit about the stark and sacred lessons learned at deathbeds and funerals, and pushes back against a world that wants to minimize our sorrow and avoid our despair.

Christians of all walks have drawn strength from Rutherford's letters, which were printed several years after his death in 1661 and have been called “the most remarkable series of devotional letters that the literature of the Reformed churches can show.” The Loveliness of Christ is a collection of short excerpts from these letters.

God never said that tough times would not occur, but what He did say is, "When times of trouble are present, I am with you, always." In knowing that, God has given us the ability to seek out knowledge to help us comprehend why these situations occur and the ability to seek counsel for the things our minds cannot dissect. We have been brought up to believe that real men don't cry and we should keep our problems to ourselves. Nothing could be further from the truth.
