Grief.  Unexplainable and unavoidable.  The blending of anger, denial and lost weaves a path each of us will face if not today, one day.   The question is will that path draw you closer to the Lord or further away?
 

"I believe that our salvation is fixed and sealed," says author Karen Tripp, "but each day our relationship with the Lord sways as He remains our rock and we draw closer or drift further away."  The God is Bigger series is designed to draw people closer to the Lord in their pivotal times of crisis.

 

After tackling the crisis of cancer in God is Bigger Than Your Cancer, Tripp now takes on the struggles of grief.  God is Bigger Than Your Grief is the latest installment into the "God is Bigger" series answering four difficult questions which come through grief.  
· Will I see them again?
· Why can't I get on with my life?
· Why did You let them die?
· When will the ache go away?

 

As small, beautifully illustrated gift books, the series is designed to be manageable reading for cancer and grief survivors a like. 
"It's strange," Tripp explained,  "People say 'Karen, I bought your book for a friend.'  Instead of joy that someone has chosen my writings to share, I feel sadness for the pain of their friend."   These books are not intended as light, humorous reading.  Their intent is to share truth about a devastating subject, first cancer, and now grief.  The truth comes through their foundation in scripture and the raw honesty of the stories from people that have walked the difficult path.  The message of the books is expressed so perfectly through these individual's stories.  They did not just survive- they drew closer to Christ and from that closeness seized a sweet victory.

"As I was writing God is Bigger Than Your Grief, many people gave suggestions of those they knew with overwhelming stories of grief, " Tripp said.  "But I was not looking for stories of devastation.  I was looking for stories of immense victories through Christ.  And through God's leadings, that what I found."
