Review
All of us, in various ways, find our spirituality tested, stretched, disrupted, erupted by loss. [This book] gives us the gentle hearts and stories of some of today's real prophets in the church (with words of great comfort also for those outside the church.) They are stories. They are hope. I needed to read this book and so do you! Resources Hotline, World Pastoral Care Center
