Book Description
Our relationship with God is more than acknowledging Him as Creator and Lord of all. What God desires most is a deep, personal relationship with each believer. In short, He wants to be our Father. Like all relationships, nothing tests devotion to God more than times of grief, sorrow, and loss. Relying on God is one thing easily uttered but meaning it with your heart during times of trial takes a greater amount of purposeful focus. Worshiping Through the Tears will help you walk with the Lord even when your heart is hurting the most. Through worship, you will learn to be open in conversations with God. Learn how to rely on His Holy Spirit to provide comfort—and ultimately find the peace and sense of joy promised in Scripture. “Getting over it” is not required nor should it be your goal. Walking with God through trials allows Him to experience your pain and sorrow, allows Him to hold you through grief, and enables you to experience His unbreakable love so you can get through the pain. The journey is a process that starts and continues with worship—even when you are Worshiping Through the Tears. www.encouragingworship.com

Book Description
Grounded in the narrative of the loss of his own wife, Ross Hastings seeks to provide insight into the universal human condition of loss and grief . . . and speaks comfort. All kinds of losses produce grief--loss of jobs, homes, friendships, health, losses through divorce, and loss through death of parents, children, and spouses--and we are often unprepared for it. Applicable to all who go through loss, this book will also offer skills for pastors, pastors-in-training, and friends seeking to offer comfort to grieving people. It will weave together first-order theological, as well as integrated psychological insights that relate to loss and grieving, interspersed with personal stories. The ultimately redemptive nature of grief is highlighted, with sensitivity to the grieving process. It offers comfort for the grieving found in fresh awareness of the orientation and action of the triune God who is for us, who invites us to participate in his life and love, and gathers up our grief, and in Christ, suffers with us. It beckons us towards spiritual attentiveness, permission for emotional honesty, normalization of the grief process, practices that enable coping and redemptive transformation in the present, and hope grounded in future resurrection reality.
