"Grieving God's Way" by Margaret Brownley is a 90-day devotional taking the reader through the various stages of grief following the death of a loved one. It is divided into four sections-"Healing The Grieving Body", "Healing The Grieving Soul", "Healing The Grieving Heart", and "Healing The Grieving Spirit". Each section has several titled chapters each of which are about two pages in length that include a Bible verse, a Haiku poem by Diantha Ain, along with Biblically based comments by the author and a bit of her own experience of loss when her son died.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and recommend it to anyone who needs help going through the grieving process. I especially liked how short the chapters were because those who are grieving aren't up to more than a page or two at a time. The Haiku poems were very brief but they added so much to each chapter. Two of my favorite ones were, "Basking in the sun can melt away one layer of grief's icy coat", and, "Surveying nature, we cannot have any doubt that there is a God".
Having lost my dad two years ago, I have read several books on grief and I have to say this was one of the best.
I was given this book by Thomas Nelson Publishers Booksneeze program in exchange for a review. I was not required to give a positive review, only an honest one. The words are my own.
