Holding on to Hope: A Pathway Through Suffering to the Heart of God
Nancy Guthrie
Tyndale Momentum, 2015
208 pages
Holding on to Hop systematically studies Job’s response to suffering through its various phases such as sorrow, worship, despair, and submission. With the loss of our third child, Derrick and I grappled with how to work through grief in a godly way, with hope. I found this book most instructive in the blur of those first weeks. Holding on to Hope is practical and relatable, succinct and easy to read, yet rigorous in its application. The book also comes with a companion 8-week Bible study on the book of Job.
