With candor, Taylor, who lost his five-year-old son in a drowning accident, speaks to wounded hearts about the agony of empty arms, the raging of the soul in the aftermath of death, guilt and sorrow, the frustrations of faith, and the risks of loving again.
When Life Is Changed Forever empathetically comforts the agony of empty arms and the raging of the soul in the aftermath of a loved one's death as few books ever have. Within these helpful pages the author skillfully offers the sure hope that life can be lived fully again...while facing the truth that it can never be the same. Here is an honest journey into the depths of God's love for all those who have experienced the complicated and often conflicting emotions brought about by the death of someone near. There are no simple platitudes, quick solutions or moralistic exhortations here. Just biblical truth gently taught through authentic life experience that provides the deep hope of a God who is big enough to handle the worst of our pain. -Howard G. Hendricks, Distinguished Professor, Dallas Theological Seminary Dr. Taylor's reference to "changed forever" describes the heartache of a loss that eventually lessens but never leaves. If you have been touched by the death of someone dear, you'll find compassion and hope within these pages. You can transcend your personal grief by experiencing God's purpose and promise for your life. -June Hunt, Hope for the Heart
