Grief is a natural part of the human experience that in one way or another eventually touches every life. It is impossible to make it to the end of one’s life without knowing the pain that comes from loss, whether it is the loss of a loved one to death, the loss of a relationship to breakup, or the loss of hope to despair. People die, jobs are eliminated, disasters ravage the earth, and relationships fall apart, yet the world continues spinning on its axis and life marches on. The problem is that after a significant loss, we often do not feel that we have the energy or the will to continue. We are filled with questions that often paralyze us, fill us with doubts, and do little to relieve our pain. We struggle to understand why it is that death interrupts life, why disease invades health, and why sorrow intrudes upon happiness. People of faith have struggled for centuries to understand why bad things happen to good people. In fact, it is the subject of the oldest book of the Bible, the Book of Job. The words of this small book were not born in abstract theory, but in the midst of a community of hope. These are sermons preached at the Cathedral of Hope. This book offers the hope of healing by pointing to the grace and love of God, which overcomes grief, even when we feel that our world is falling apart or that we have reached the end of all that we can handle. Mourning to Morning is designed to be read either from cover to cover or by choosing the chapters that seem to speak to your situation. Regardless of how you approach the pages that follow, may you discover within them the gift of grace that is sufficient for your every need. - from Amzon
