A helpful new book for those suffering loss, God’s Healing for Life’s Losses: How to Find Hope When You’re Hurting , by Robert Kellemen, Ph.D., LPCP, has just been released by BMH Books of Winona Lake, Ind.
Kellemen, a popular and powerful speaker, is a graduate of Grace Theological Seminary and a professor, counselor, and former pastor. This, his latest book, is endorsed by GriefShare , a Christ-centered organization that conducts grief support groups throughout the U.S.
The book’s message is summarized in the two scriptural promises that bookend it: first, an acknowledgement of the promise that all lives will be filled with loss, and second, the hope in the promise that one day all pain will be wiped away. Readers are urged to look at their suffering through this big-picture lens of biblical redemption.
The strong suit of God’s Healing for Life’s Losses (ISBN: 978-0-88469-270-6) is in taking a personalized approach to the intensely individualized grieving process. Kellemen offers stories from his own life as well as from those whom he has guided throughout his career. In addition, “grief and growth exercises” scattered throughout the book’s 115 pages offer a starting point for personal
reflective journaling.
Retailing at $14.99, God’s Healing for Life’s Losses is a casebound hardback gift-sized book and makes a beautiful and helpful gift for the grieving. It is available for purchase at bmhbooks.com , major online retailers, and your local Christian bookstore.
