The Unwanted Gift of Grief

A Ministry Approach

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Unwanted Gift of Grief is a passionate, practical guide through the grieving process for those who have suffered loss-and those who suffer with them. Rather than talking people out of their grief and pain as a way to make them feel better, this unique book invites them into the grief and pain as a way to healing, transformation and hope. Using real and in-depth ministry and counseling conversations, it identifies the journey through the wilderness of grief. This powerful book is equally valuable as a professional guide for ministers and counselors, a training resource for lay ministers and congregations and as a gift to a grieving person.
