Hurt is real. But so is hope. Kristen Wetherell and Sarah Walton have walked through, and are walking in, difficult times themselves, and these thirty biblical reflections are full of realism about the hurts of life and at the same time full of hope about the God who gives life.

The meditations are short enough to be read on a bad day and substantial enough to be worth returning to, and they are written for a woman struggling with suffering of any kind, whether physical, emotional or psychological. A beautiful cloth-bound volume, which makes it a good thing to give rather than only to own.
