Holding onto Hope by Nancy Guthrie

Holding Onto Hope: Nancy Guthrie This touching, true-story of one women's walk through the loss of a child, will have you weeping and rejoicing as you follow in her footsteps.  I adore the power of narrative to draw in the reader, deepen understanding and grow compassion. This book does all of that while uplifting the name of God. The first of many for Nancy Guthrie this books strength is it's simple honesty. Nancy shares from the heart, her journey through doubt, anger, pain, heartache and back to a stronger, deeper faith in God.  This book is best read by the person who's is new to anguish and simply wants to hear they aren't alone or someone who wants to understand a loved one's pain better.

My verdict: 3.5 out of 5
