| Whether
it is your own loss, or the loss of someone dear to you, grief, loss and
recovery are a part of life. These books can help you survive the
process.
Remember, you can get all of these
books through interlibrary loan. My advice is to always check the books
out at a library first, when you are deep in loss you have better things
to spend your money on. Later, if a particular book worked for you, then
you can buy it.

When God Doesn't Make Sense
by James Dobson
(Tyndale House Publishing, 1993)
I have to admit, most of what Dobson writes leaves me cold and just doesn't
connect for me. However, this book not only connected for me, it connected
for a number of my friends and family members. I am glad that I had never
read Dobson before reading this book, because I would have passed on it.
Well worth the time to read and to share. Order this
book.
