Holding On to Hope A Pathway through Suffering to the Heart of God

A healing book for those in the wake of life’s devastating storms. We can never plan for the unexpected turns of this life that sometimes lead to great personal suffering. Sometimes that suffering can overshadow everything and threaten to pull us under. Nancy Guthrie knows what it is to be plunged into life’s abyss. Framing her own story of staggering loss and soaring hope with the biblical story of Job, she takes you by the hand and guides you on a pathway through pain—straight to the heart of God. Holding On to Hope offers an uplifting perspective, not only for those experiencing monumental loss, but for anyone going through difficulty and failure. (Includes an 8-week study on the book of Job for readers who want to dig deeper into what the Bible says about dealing with suffering and grief.)

This is one of the hardest books I've ever read. My sister's friend sent it to me after the death of my son. It took me a few months to want to read it, and even when I did, I struggled to finish it. The author, Nancy Guthrie, wrote it after the death of her daughter, Hope, from a rare genetic disorder. Her insights into the hearts and minds of those who have lost children is precious, as many books on grief are not written from this perspective. She is wise and intentional as she walks the reader through the book of Job, exploring Job's reactions to loss, his friends reactions, and God's reactions. Ms. Guthrie continually points the reader to the hope of the Gospel. ALSZambrano
