Description:
It is an unfortunate reality that bad things happen to good people. Hidden Presence is a collection of twelve short stories about "bad things" that happened in the lives of the authors. Out of these tragic events, however, ultimately came good things. As editor, Gregory Pierce points out that sometimes sorrow or loss are transformed by blessings in ways that are neither sought nor expected, and something truly good occurs?not despite the tragedy but actually because of it.
Each storyteller in this collection recalls a very real benefit or insight gained form a tragedy, failure, illness or disaster in his or her life. Out of these horrible events they reveal how they come to realize the Christian belief that grace can flow from sadness.
This beautiful hardcover book contains stories of sorrow and loss that virtually everyone can relate to in one way or another. It will offer support and strenght to readers and be welcomed as a resource by grief and bereavement ministers.
Let these twelve outstanding authors and their personal stories remind you of the presence of God even in the hardest of times.
