Publisher's Description

For anyone going through grief, loss, hurt, or trauma, A Path Through Pain guides readers through their first steps toward healing. Ed and Lisa Young, pastors of Fellowship Church, know the kind of grief that no one should have to suffer—the death of a child. With deep vulnerability, they tell the story of their family's journey through sorrow and anger to hope and healing after the tragic and sudden loss of their daughter. Having been through the worst, they began to realize how many others were dealing with similar hurt, doubts, and uncertainties and asking the same questions: How can I move through this period in my life? Can I restore my trust in God and see His presence in the midst of suffering? Is there a purpose to pain, even if I can't see it yet? In A Path Through Pain, the Youngs will offer you a language and a voice to speak about your pain and a way to see that you don't walk this path alone. They'll walk you through concrete ways that daily acts of faith can restore your hope in the faithfulness and power of Jesus Christ. God really does care for us, and in the darkest of places, his light still shines to show us a way through.


Endorsements (5)

“A spouse who loses their wife or husband is called a widower or widow. A child who loses their parents is called an orphan. There is no English word for a parent who loses their child, and perhaps that is appropriate, for no one word is big enough to hold such pain. My friends Ed and Lisa Young have sadly joined the ranks of this club that no one wants to join, and they have selflessly written down the lessons they have learned, holding on to God along the way. These tear-stained pages will help you find your way through whatever pain you face on this side of heaven.”

“This volume is not written with some lofty platitudes, but rather every word has been beaten out on the anvil of their personal experience and heartache. Read it . . . and reap!”
