The Book of Comforts: Genuine Encouragement for Hard Times

When someone is grieving, what should you say? How can you help? How do you comfort without offering shallow platitudes? The Book of Comforts stands in the gap between suffering and hope, offering readers the abiding comfort found in Scripture and personal experience.

The Book of Comforts is unlike other books on grief--with beautiful four-color interiors and an inviting format with brief devotions. Readers will gain:

• Long-term comfort from scripturally focused entries
• A deeper understanding of their grief, loss, and pain, and discover the richness of God's love
• A meaningful way to walk through hurt, heartache, challenges, and difficulty through the truth of God's Word

Scripture deals plainly and honestly with suffering and simultaneously points people to the rich hope we find in God. The Book of Comforts is a beautiful and comforting gift for those in hard places--because even though we don't always know what to say, the gift of divine consolation is always helpful.
