Let There Be Hope: One Christian Mother's Healing Journey After Infant Death

With illustrations by George J. Majoué If you are going through the excruciating experience of losing your baby, Let There Be Hope. It has been 40 years since the author lost her own sweet baby shortly after birth. In this book, she delivers a mature reflection on her journey of faith and healing. From expressing the tumult of her emotions and thoughts through relating ways that helped her cope, grieve, and heal, the reader experiences anguish turned into peace and joy. Lastly, she lists the lessons she learned along the way and provides helpful resources. The author's faith in God and her reliance on His healing power are central to her story. Scripture quotes encourage the reader to realize God is always present, holding out His loving arms to embrace the grieving with comfort, strength, and hope. If you have experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or early infant death, the author's words may help you realize you are not alone or that guilt should play no part in your suffering. If you know someone who is going through these challenging times, this book may help you understand their anguish more clearly and find ways to assist them as they grieve. "Once I started reading, I kept reading. The overwhelming experience was all the lessons taught, not by preaching, but by merely sharing experiences and feelings and anger and acceptance.... Let There Be Hope is a testimony that demonstrates exactly the truth of a quotation: 'Never underestimate the power of a married couple!' As I listen to the pages of Let There Be Hope, I pray that every reader will be as grateful as I am to learn from this couple and their young son how to 'take just one step at a time' and share everything!" - Robert A.
