Grief can be a cruel tyrant. When "comforting" Scriptures don't feel very ... comforting. When faith-filled verses don't infuse you with faith. When faith unravels during grief and tragedy, allowing doubts, disillusionment, and shame to seep in, smothering it even more. The very thing that should be carrying the griever through the storm is the very thing from which they have emotionally detached.

Grief can be a cruel tyrant. When "comforting" Scriptures don't feel very ... comforting. When faith-filled verses don't infuse you with faith. When faith unravels during grief and tragedy, allowing doubts, disillusionment, and shame to seep in, smothering it even more. The very thing that should be carrying the griever through the storm is the very thing from which they have emotionally detached. Christian grievers are often offered soothing and victorious Scriptures as a means of encouragement. The problem is, when they feel disconnected, apathetic or angry towards God, those Scriptures can chafe their already wounded heart. But the Bible has an amazing ability to meet us right where we are - even if where we are is in a deep chasm of confusion, bitterness and apathy. Sometimes only Scriptures drenched in desperation can reach the wounded heart. What if the griever could look at some not-so-common, not so "faith-filled" verses of the Bible - verses that reflect the darkness, the festering ooze, the raw honesty of despair? Those Scriptures can meet them right in that dark abyss and show them that their disconnect isn't all that abnormal. That their fractured faith isn't all that hopeless. That the apathy and anger isn't beyond God's reach. After feeling validated ... understood ... and seen, the truths and comfort of Scripture can penetrate past defensive walls that are often erected in grief and tragedy. Faith Unraveled is a devotional which delves into the real, the raw, the broken, and captures God's compassion and faithfulness in its midst.

Autorenporträt
Alisha had served in various ministry capacities for twenty years, when she was thrown into widowhood at age thirty-three. She fought the battle of grieving well, learning deep lessons of life, faith, and suffering. Bringing grief, tragedy, and the fight for hope into writing, both fiction and nonfiction, became her calling. She blogs on her website, alishabozarth.com, where she delves into the tough subjects of loss, the struggle of faith, and digging for hope. Four blogs have been featured in national grief newsletters, with others listed on online resource sites. Her blog "Widowhood is More Than..." has gone viral with thousands of views and shares.Alisha resides in Bakersfield, California, where she homeschools her two high school daughters, and upkeeps her two acres (but not very well! It's a lot of work!) and writes to illustrate that Hope Grows in the Wilderness. A lover of coffee, chocolate and pastries, and (so she doesn't sound too fat) a lover of God, history and traveling. When she can, she travels to fulfill her bucket list of seeing all fifty states, and hopefully, eventually, other countries.
