Through Your Tears

This coming Sunday, August 16th, I am going to be speaking about grief recovery at the Sterlington, LA Church of Christ from 2-4 in the afternoon. Everyone is invited to attend.

I decided to make my book of reflections about the grief journey FREE for a few days. Through Your Tears: Sorrow From Loss, Hope for Healing is available for you. (Also available in Spanish, translated by Bart Stewart: A Través de Tus Lágrimas: Duelo por la Pérdida, Esperanza de Sanación)

Inside the book:

• Reflection questions at the end of each chapter make for good discussion in groups or journal prompts

• Practical action steps to work through grief

• How to approach special days and anniversaries

• Intersection of faith and grief. How do I relate to God as a bereaved person?

• Pertinent Scriptures from the Bible that encourage us in our struggle with grief.

• The author's own grief story

• Access to a large list of online resources to help with grief

“Having just retired from 56 years of ministry, this is the book that I wish I had to give to grieving families. Stories and quotes abound, along with practical applications. The author communicates well because he has been through great loss and wants to help others. It is evident that John Dobbs cares!”—Bruce Henderson

“Written from the heart to the heart, with the understanding that comes from an author who is also on the journey. He does not pretend to have a panacea to eliminate your grief, but offers suggestions to find a place for it in your life. A concise, but powerful read.”—Sammy Trombatore RN, retired hospice nurse

“Sometimes it’s hard to know whether to recommend a particular book to those who have experienced loss. Not this time. It won’t overwhelm those struggling in a howling gale. Rather, it’s a gentle hand on the shoulder and eyes that weep with those who weep. You can read and pass it to others with confidence and if/when it’s appropriate, add those other books into the mix.” - Richard Myerscough

If you are in the area, we would love for you to come spend a few hours considering the experience of grief.
