So encouraging. Loved it.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

One of the things Lisa mentions is that tears shed are good for the process of healing. I feel no shame, therefore, at admitting to tears flowing as I finished reading the last chapter of her book. Lisa invites her readers to trust in the God of all goodness, the God who does not have a Plan B for our lives, and a God who cannot give his children stones. Lisa proves to be a faithful companion along our way, with the wisdom of pastoral counseling and presence to share with us.

Life Can Be Good Again is Lisa’s personal testimony. She has not only walked the path of grief, but has marked the trail for us with lessons to be considered, attitudes to be cultivated, and strategies to be learnt.

Lisa has done us a worthwhile service to assure us that there is a tomorrow, and life can be worthwhile again despite our painful losses. It’s a book I will need to return to again and again.

I would urge the reader to read the book from cover to cover. After the 40 Promises of God in Appendix A, don’t miss the Resolves of Appendix B. These are the building blocks I am using to rebuild my life after suffering the death of both my parents, family disintegration and disability. I have courage to rebuild beauty one step at a time(Item 9 on the list), as I BELIEVE LIFE INDEED CAN BE GOOD AGAIN.

Thank you, Bethany House Publishers, for the advance reading copy.

I have been reading this book for the past few days. I had to stop in between the pages every now and then when I started reading it as my heart was breaking and I was sobbing really hard to continue on. Dear author, it must have been really difficult for you and I can feel what you must be going through.

I find such books sharing such difficult personal experiences through books is such a precious gift to the rest of us. Not everybody wants to share and not everyone is ever ready on how to face such situations. Until it happens to us and we all feel lost and devasted.

I feel reading and sharing such experiences do lessen the hurt and the feeling of loss. Sometimes it can be too much and sometimes too numbing an experience it can be. Either way, we need something to tell us and let us know life can be okay again.

I do agree on leaning on to the faith we follow/believe in during such times. And this book tells us exactly how to do that. I really appreciate it.

Keep this book with you. We all will need this book one day or the other. Keep sharing such good books. You never know how it will heal and save someone.
