Cherishing Zion: Coping with the Death of a Child and Other Challenges of Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781946629418)

Death touches all of us at some point.
The loss of a loved one is never easy, and some deaths are harder to cope with than others. In Cherishing Zion, Paul and Ruth Manwaring take you with them through their very personal journey-- from the events leading up to the birth, through the life, and then the loss of their youngest daughter, Zion. You will learn vicariously through their experiences about the joy, the pain, the grief, and eventual peace and comfort that can accompany one on the path of loving and losing a loved one. Do you believe in miracles? Perhaps you will believe all the more as you witness how God can play a critical role in assisting us through trials that often wrench our very heartstrings. The short but miraculous life of this small child continues to influence all who hear her story. It gives hope and comfort. It takes you to the mountain top and provides a view that puts the overwhelming challenges of life into an eternal perspective. It reveals the purpose of such trials, for they do serve a very important purpose. This is a story about cherishing the lessons gained through adversity.
