Peter James Flamming

NCLA Review - The author tells us what steps to take in turning our grief experience into a healing experience. Flamming speaks of the positive wisdom of grief that seeks to take the pain of our loss, and in time, recycle it for our good. He closes every chapter by giving us a “This I can Do Today” and “This I can Remember Today” bit of advice. The last chapter on turning points and beginning again takes the reader to a time of healing. The wisdom of grief may be saying the worst is over and beginning to look forward as well as backwards. This I can do today—remember that God works in all things, past, present, and future. It is time not to forget the past, but to realize that healing has taken place to get you where you are. It is a hopeful and positive book for a church library. I have read a number of books on grief and knew immediately that this writer was talking to all who had experienced grief and that it is written in the language of a layperson. Rating: 4 —SV… (más)
