This book of 24 undated reflections draws comfort and inspiration from the Bible and from experience for those who are going through a time of bereavement, as well as providing insight for those wanting to support others who are bereaved. Jean Watson suggests how it might feel to get through the dark days and to move, however slowly, from `getting by’ with help, to `getting a life’ in which living with loss goes alongside the gains in terms of new insights on faith and life and a greater ability to empathise with others.

Seasoned By Seasons: flourishing in life’s experiences
Seasons of Life, Spiritual Growth
Like the seasons themselves, our lives are variable and can change in a moment. In Seasoned by Seasons, Michael Mitton acknowledges this and offers Bible reflections for the variety of life's seasons: spring, the season of emerging new life; summer, the season of fruitfulness; autumn, the season of letting go; winter, the season of discovering light in the dark. What can we learn, and how can we be encouraged in each season of our lives? This book will empower you to discover for yourself the truths and messages of scripture, and might well change the way you view life's changes.

Destiny : Learning to Live by Preparing to Die
Seasons of Life
Only a proper perspective on death provides the true perspective on life.Living in the light of your death will help you to live wisely, freely and generously. It will give you a big heart and open hands, and enable you to relish all the small things of life in deeply profound ways. Death can teach you the meaning of mirth.The author encourages us to take the one thing in the future that is certain - our death - and work backwards from that point into all the details and decisions and heartaches of our lives, and to think about them from the perspective of the end.
It is the destination which makes sense of the journey. If we know for sure where we are heading, then we can know for sure what we need to do before we get there.Learn to find true joy and satisfaction in God's good gifts, and, in realizing your own smallness, see just how great God is.

This Must Be the Place : Reflections on Home
Everyday Life, Seasons of Life
Connects the metaphor of home that runs through the stories of our faith - the Prodigal Son, the Son of Man has nowhere to call home, heaven as home - with the deep desire to belong and to feel wanted* Author of Keeping the Feast turns discussions about food and faith into what it means to live in community, to create home, and to feel at homeThe author writes, "One of the characters in Robert Frost's `Death of a Hired Man' says, `Home is that place where, when you go there, they have to let you in.' I have found that place in my marriage, around our dining room table for Thursday Night Dinners, with friends who have helped me make a mosaic out of the shards of my fractured past. Home, for me, means to belong, to feel wanted."As a writer, chef, and minister, Brasher-Cunningham has spoken to churches, taught cooking classes, hosted dinners, and found as many ways as possible to get people together to talk about food and faith. That discussion turns often to what it means to live life together, which is an entry point to talk about what it means to feel at home together.
For readers of Keeping the Faith and Brasher-Cunningham's blog, churches seeking to be "home" for their members, people who have moved and searching for a sense of home.
