A Good Book

[JaneyAmazed]

I wanted to share with you a book that has helped me though the last few months. It's called "A Grace Disguised" by Jerry Sittser. It's a true story about a man who lost his wife, mom and daughter at the same time in a car accident. The book is his way of showing "how the soul grows through loss." He mentions that loss isn't just the death of someone, it's also terminal illness, disability, divorce, rape, crushing disappointment, etc. I really could have posted this on any thread here because we all suffer or have suffered some form of loss. This book gave me a new perspective.

I actually felt a little teary when I read your description of the book. I could never imagine such loss, it's a scary thing. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely be getting that book.
