Beauty from Ashes.

'When my life seemed burnt to ashes, the last thing I could cope with was reading lengthy Bible passages, yet the Bible contains many verses which encourage and comfort people who are grappling with grief and loss. I began collecting these verses and sticking them all over my kitchen walls! My favourite verse reminded me that God could transform the ashes of my life into something new and beautiful. This book grew out my collection of 'kitchen verses' combined with some of the practical tips and helpful ideas, given to me at the time by others who know how it feels from personal experience'. This is a new edition of a BRF classic that has, over the years, helped and comforted many people walking the hard road of grieving. Forty readings offer gentle guidance and consolation, from the earliest stage of groping for God's presence to realising the beginnings of new life and hope. The book has four sections: The early stages, Walking through question marks, Dealing with the Lurkers and The return of spring.
