Free Books This Month!

Have you ever wanted someone to hold your hand and guide you along this journey through grief? A book by an author who "gets it" is the perfect solution.

Like 9/11 widow, Jennifer Sands, says in the beginning of the book I'm writing (coming out in September, Lord willing!) . . .

In the pitch blackness of grief and widowhood, this book is a beacon of light that illuminates the path of hope. Ferree’s wisdom, honesty, humor, and conversational tone makes us feel like we’re having coffee with a dear, old friend… crying and laughing and trying to make sense out of our devastating loss . . . 
                          
Not only my book, but there are many books that can be our best friend, touching our hearts like no one else. Books can encourage, strengthen and pull us through the darkest of days. C.S. Lewis said, "We read to know that we are not alone." A good book is like a faithful companion, a walking partner, when no one else is around. When no one can possibly understand, the right book will prove to be a steady voice and guide.

When I was widowed, blogs and Facebook didn't exist as they do now. I didn't "google" for advice. Instead, I held on to three books like life preservers:

• Not Ready to Walk Alone, by Judith Fabisch
• Let Me Grieve, But Not Forever, by Verdell Davis
• Though I Walk Through The Valley, by Vance Havner

I'll never give away those three books, those three dear friends of mine. But I have SEVENTEEN other wonderful books that can be your new BFF, because I am giving them away FREE at the end of this month! (Later today I'll post a FREE BOOK GIVE-AWAY tab at the top of the blog so you can refer to the list any time).
