Christian Non-Fiction Review
An Introduction by Roger Harned
As I write this on September 21, 2013, my daughter is celebrating her 21st birthday with friends. If you do the math from the cover photo you will see that Daniel Paul Wisler was born just 28 days before my daughter Rachel, who will be hosting our discussion on grief.
In 1997, the year that Daniel died, Rachel’s mother, my wife Becky, also discovered cancer spreading aggressively through her body. We prayed fervently for the Lord’s intervention, as did many of our faithful friends; but like Daniel, Becky also died 2-10-99.
Please take a moment to read this review from Alice Wisler’s website. Join in our discussion on grief. And consider ordering her book:
GETTING Out Of Bed IN THE MORNING – by Alice J. Wisler
A book by a grieving mom for others going through sorrow associated with loss, Getting Out of Bed in the Morning: Reflections of Comfort in Heartache, is a tribute to my four-year-old son Daniel. Filled with prayers, scripture and thoughts on walking through this rocky path called Life, this is a companion for others who want to know that they are not alone.
Written in devotional format, Getting Out of Bed in the Morning is a companion for those going through sorrow associated with loss—whether brought to the journey through the death of a loved one, failing health, job loss, broken relationships, or weakened family ties.
Getting Out of Bed in the Morning is ideal for:
Alice J. Wisler has contributed an important resource for grieving families by authoring Getting Out Of Bed In The Morning from her own experience of faith in Christ and eternal life.
Again, please SHARE your heart, scriptures and grieving experiences with all of us as your Christian Social Witness.
