STRAIGHT FROM THE AUTHOR
During grief sometimes God is the last person
that you may want to talk to. Some people choose to blame God for their
personal loss. Others may simply ask God, “Why me”? Once I made the decision
to stop asking questions and give everything I felt to God, my burdens
were lifted immediately. I poured my heart out to him in prayer and he
gave me peace, comfort and his love. This was a spiritual moment of God
giving me direction on how to fully recover from my personal grief and
loss.
About the Author
Those who have read the book identify
with Thompson’s personal insights and realize themselves the path to recovery
after grief, loss and despair. “Phyllis manages to use ordinary life experiences
to reveal the extraordinary powers of God,” says Deidre Haggar Mooring.
“This book tells the secret of many children and silent adults. It gives
a voice to their pain and rejection”, says Shirley Moore. Greg Manora expresses,
“I have also felt the indescribable pain and sorrow of rejection. The lonely
search for identity and self-worth is often paralyzing to the human spirit.
Yet when society counted me as a statistic; black, fatherless, poor and
without redeeming merit: God said, “I will take him”. We can all find solace
in the journey. Pain is the cousin of joy and regardless of how difficult
times may seem joy comes in the morning.”
