Understanding more of God's character and how he loves us changed bestselling author Holley Gerth's life in beautiful, powerful ways. She realized that she didn't have to settle for "I'm fine" when there was someone whispering to her in every moment, "You're mine." The hope, joy, peace, and purpose she longed for were already there, in the heart of God. Now in 52 devotional readings, Holley shares with women the answer to the restlessness they feel in their hearts that keeps them hurrying, striving, pushing. She shows them that "the God who scattered stars like diamonds across the velvet of the universe, the keeper of every sparrow, the maker of us all, is inviting us to draw closer to him. He is the place where our hearts can go on the hard days and the happy ones, in the highs and lows, when we are sad or frustrated or downright giddy. He is what we've been searching for all along."

Losing means grieving. Grieving means choices. Choices mean hurt or healing. You’ve lost someone you love. Or you’re on the brink of losing your marriage. Your dreams. Your health. Or perhaps the trauma of your past pursues you into the present. Your life’s going to change. Which way it goes won’t be decided by your loss, but by the choices you make. At the crossroads of grief, one road will lead to hope and healing. The other, to more hurt. Hope When Your Heart Is Breaking is an honest look at both roads, and how your greatest loss can lead to your greatest gain. Author Ron Hutchcraft writes from the deep well of his own devastating loss and grief, and points you to the practical steps that lead to peace and wholeness. This book is a pathway to hope—a roadmap through the pain of grief and loss. Discover new strength through a new closeness to others and to God. And make the decisions that lead to comfort, growth, and life.

Julia received the call every parent dreads: her daughter Barbara has been killed in a car accident. Still reeling from her loss months later, Julia embarks on a fascinating journey into her inner world of metaphors, uncovering wounds both new and old that she must heal before she can embrace living again. Read the actual transcripts of Julia's twelve sessions with her counselor Gina Campbell, whose comments from the facilitator's chair reveal how uncovering the metaphors that deepen Julia's self-exploration open her to new possibilities and healing. Campbell uses Clean Language, a questioning method developed by innovative coach and counselor David Grove, that gives voice to the subconscious mind's healing wisdom. A deep respect for Julia's self-directed journey shines through Campbell's patient questions that lead to surprisingly profound discoveries. Each chapter of Hope in a Corner of My Heart includes an activity with the same Clean Language questions used to guide Julia so you can take your own journey to get to better know your best self.

Hope is one of the prominent themes of the Bible. Despite Scripture's teaching on the subject, however, the true, biblical meaning of hope is often misunderstood or reduced to mere sentimentalism. Respected author and counselor June Hunt champions the healing power of hope. Stemming from Hunt's ministry, Hope For the Heart, this book speaks on a subject central to her calling. She explains how hope is much more than a vague emotion and specifies the ways it has the power to change lives. Shunning pop psychology and shallow inspirationalism, she instead consistently and faithfully looks at what the Bible says about hope. Each chapter flows from a central Scripture passage and is illustrated by real-life stories. Those experiencing brokenness and hurt will find encouragement and healing as they encounter the hope of the Bible. Written from a counselor's heart, this book will also benefit pastors and others engaged in counseling ministry.
