Finding Hope in Times of Grief


eBook available at your favorite eRetailer.

Preston and Glenda Parrish experienced the sudden death of their 25-year-old son, Nathan, in the same week that Preston’s father died. In Finding Hope in Times of Grief, the Parrishes candidly share their story and the struggles they faced, as well as how they found hope in Christ and in the pages of the Bible. Writing not from theory but from experience, the Parrishes come alongside others who grieve, pointing them to God’s all-sufficient grace, grace that is great enough to infuse even their worst moments with His comfort.

This book will help those who grieve to

  • know God’s presence and peace in the midst of their suffering
  • realize that hope still exists and can be known
  • understand that their suffering can assume a place of purpose in their life and in the lives of others

Finding Hope in Times of Grief points readers to the surpassing hope we have in Christ and the comfort that comes ultimately from God Himself. This book will also help family members and friends better understand how to support those who grieve.

A Word from the Author


“When sorrow hits us and throws our lives into anguished upheaval, the pressing question becomes: how do we deal with it? In the course of dealing with our own personal sorrow, we have walked through many hard moments and difficult days. In one sense, it would have been easier just to leave things there and keep our experience to ourselves. We have, however, looked into too many weeping eyes and heard too many pained cries—some loud and wailing, some barely audible yet nonetheless impassioned—to do so.

“Our sense is that many more need some of the insights that have come to us, not just from theory, but through facing cold, hard reality. For such dear people, we felt we had to speak more fully about what—and ultimately, whom—we have encountered in our grief. So, in an effort to connect with our fellow travelers on this tough road, we have written this book. We pray it will be helpful to you, or to someone you know.”
—Preston and Glenda Parrish, authors of Finding Hope in Times of Grief
