5 Stars
“I was given this book by a friend. I lost my husband a year ago this coming August 1st and were given quite a few devotionals and/or books to read. This is THE one that most hit home for me. Every night I would read one of the chapters and each night that subject hit home for me and I was able to cry and reflect on their views as well as why God is there for me every step of the way. This is the book for you or to give to a friend in need.”

A treasure for new or seasoned widows.
5 Stars
“Surviving Widowhood: 40 Devotions of Hope is a treasure, whether you’re a new or more seasoned widow. Sharon and Lori offer validation and wisdom in bite-size pieces through authentically sharing their widow’s journey and grounding it in the grace of Scripture. This devotional takes you beyond a “daily dose” to consider your own story of loss gently and prayerfully. As a widow of more than six years, I highly recommend this book for personal use or to give as a gift.”
