Through the Valley: What God Says When the Shadow Is Real (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995428879)

▎ Someone you love is dying. Or maybe that someone is you.

▎ Through the Valley is not written to explain the valley. It is written

to provide a Companion within it.

▎ In eight chapters anchored entirely in Scripture, this book walks with

two people at once: the one whose body is failing and the one who will

be left behind. It does not separate them into different sections,

because they are walking through the same valley - and the promises that

sustain the one who is departing are the same promises that hold the

one who remains.

▎ From Psalm 23 to 1 Thessalonians 4, from the silence of God at the

bedside to the hope of resurrection on the other side, each chapter

examines what the Bible actually says - not platitudes, not near-death

stories, not clinical speculation. Scripture alone. What does God say

about His presence when He feels absent? What happens to the body - and

what happens to the person inside it? What has Jesus Himself promised

about what comes next? And how do you grieve honestly while holding to a

hope that Scripture calls certain?

▎ Built on five principles - the Bible as sole authority, word-for-word

accuracy, Scripture interprets Scripture, intellectual honesty, and a

shared journey - this book is short enough to read in a hospital room.

It is meant to be.

▎ The valley is real. The shadow is dark. But David did not say "if I

walk into the valley." He said "even though I walk through." The valley

has a through. And the Shepherd is already there.

▎ Scripture quotations from the New American Standard Bible (NASB).
