The Hope Of Heaven

A New Hope For Christmas by Erin Stevenson is a beautiful Christian contemporary novel that deals with loss and healing.

Within the novel two families are torn apart by loss. We react to loss in different ways – for some they draw closer to God, for others they pull away.

Grief has stages. There is no magic formula. We each have to find our own way through our journey of grief.

In our hurt and pain we sometimes draw away from God, whilst still realising He is the only One to go to. “He was still so angry at God and did not want to talk to Him, but he had nowhere else to turn.” Whatever we are facing, God wants us to continue to talk to Him.
