<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A loved one dies. Your world is upended. The emotional pain can be intense.</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Your heart begins asking questions. "Am I going crazy? Am I going to make it? Where is God in all this?"</p><p><br></p><p>Many of the people around you don't know what to say or do. They utter cliches and platitudes.</p><p><br></p><p>"It's okay. You're strong. You'll get through this."</p><p> </p><p>You need something more than this - far more.</p><p><br></p><p>You need to know that it's okay to hurt, to be sad, and to grieve. </p><p> </p><p>You need to know that you're not crazy and that your grief is "normal."</p><p> </p><p>You need to know that you're not alone in this. </p><p> </p><p>You need to know that you will get through this, even though you will not be the same person you were before. </p><p> </p><p>And most of all, you need the comfort of God's presence. You need to experience his compassion and love. You need to know he is walking with you in your pain and grief. </p><p> </p><p>And that's what <em>Grief Walk</em> is all about. </p><p> </p><p>Multiple award-winning author, speaker, hospice chaplain, and grief specialist Gary Roe has become a trusted voice in grief recovery who has been bringing comfort, hope, and encouragement to wounded hearts for more than three decades. A former missionary and pastor, Gary knows the spiritual questions that tug at your heart during this time of loss.</p><p> </p><p>Loss invaded Gary's life early. His childhood was riddled with sexual abuse, bullying, disappointments, failures, deaths, estrangements, and divorce. He grew up feeling damaged, sad, and lonely. He was functionally orphaned by the time he was 15.</p><p><br></p><p>Gary wondered if he was going to make it. He said to himself, "If this is what life is like, I must find a way to handle the hits that come. Then, I must find a way to use the pain for good, or else what is this all for? God, only you can do this. If you don't, I'm history."</p><p><br></p><p>The losses kept coming. Some were deep and even debilitating. Over time, they piled up and threatened to crush Gary's heart. </p><p> </p><p>"Even in my darkest moments, God was there, embracing me in my pain and whispering to my wounded heart. He kept me alive. He has led me through the valley of the shadow of death many times. He continues to bring healing to my injured soul, though never quite in the way I ask for or anticipate. And, true to his loving nature, he continues to take my losses and use them for good, in my life and in the lives of those around me."</p><p> </p><p>God meets us in our pain and embraces us. He journeys with us through the emotional upheaval, mental confusion, physical distress, spiritual questioning, and relational changes. Jesus has personally experienced more pain, suffering, and grief than we can fathom. He knows. He gets it. He is the best grief companion imaginable.</p><p> </p><p>He walks with us in our stuff. That's what <em>Grief Walk</em> is all about. </p><p> </p><p><em>Grief Walk</em> is designed to be read one chapter a day. Consider it a grief devotional. Take your time. Open your heart. Be honest about your thoughts and emotions. Allow Jesus to meet you in each day's reading.</p><p> </p><p>God is with you in your pain and grief. He loves you where you are, as you are. If you're willing, He will bring healing and growth to your broken heart. He will somehow use this loss for good in your life and in the lives of those you touch.</p><p> </p><p>Let the <em>Grief Walk</em> begin...</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Amid our pain and grief, we look up and ask, 'Where is God?' The words 'you need to know you are not alone in this' is what separates this book from so many. Pastor and Author Gary Roe has once again solidified his status as the "go-to" resource for people struggling with grief. Keen insight and practical approach are how Gary Roe consistently and compassionately touches on the subjects that people going through grief actually need to hear, like 'It's okay to grieve'. <em>Grief Walk</em> takes it to the next level by combining his knowledge as one of the top grief counselors in the world with his heart of a Pastor. A must-read for anyone going through the pain of grief." - Scott Willmore, Senior Pastor, The Word Community Church</p><p> </p><p>"Grief is a daily journey after loss. Gary Roe has captured the essence of this struggle and provided on-point encouragement for each day of the journey. Well done!" - Dr. Tony Taylor, Senior Pastor, Hilltop Lakes Chapel</p><p> </p><p>"A griever's journey can be painful, lonely and overwhelming. <em>Grief Walk</em> filters our feelings with faith, reminding us--we are not alone. God walks with us every step of the way." - Dr. Charles W. Page, MD, author of <em>A Spoonful of Courage</em></p><p> </p><p>"Gary has done it again! <em>Grief Walk</em> hits on all the emotions I have heard people speak about during my time as a Chaplain and leading support groups. I believe that everyone who reads this book will be able to relate to the emotions and find comfort, affirmation, and hope. The way faith is incorporated with the grief journey is refreshing. I have not found material that speaks about the challenges of prayer, scripture reading, and church attendance during the grief journey as <em>Grief Walk</em> does. I will be using this book for future support groups as I know this is going to help people break through barriers and into spiritual freedom." - Jessica D. Wilson, Hospice Chaplain, Life Coach</p><p> </p><p>"The grief journey is unique to everyone. Those who are Christians have a God that knows this personally. Jesus, when he walked around among us, experienced grief. He wept. In <em>Grief Walk: Experiencing God After the Loss of a Loved One</em>, Gary Roe uses God's word to create daily readings where the griever walks with God. The tough questions and emotions are addressed head-on, allowing the reader to experience the Jesus, the Balm of Gilead, to make them whole again." - Glen Lord, Board President, The Compassionate Friends, President and CEO, The Grief Toolbox</p><p><br></p><p>"<em>Grief Walk</em> is a collection of comforting blankets to wraparound your shoulders when you are feeling the pain of losing someone you dearly loved. The words speak directly to your grieving heart, reassuring you that you are not alone. The short chapters make it easy to pick up and read for just a few moments at a time."--Kathy Trim, Missionary Care and MK Care, TEAM Japan</p><p> </p><p>"Gary offers real, raw, and rational discussion on grief. He brings the practicality of experience and the truth of the Bible to help soothe the suffering soul. Grief is a journey, and Gary leads the reader from hurt to healing." - Dr. Troy Allen, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church College Station</p><br>
