Review

"The words written in this book have touched my heart so deeply. As the mother of a child that has moved onto heaven, the loss is so deep that you no longer see a future. All you see is the loss that will always be there for the rest of your life. But Sara has pressed in and held onto the hope and future our Heavenly Father offers. As it has for me, this book will help you see hope for yourself once again. Thank you, Sara, for encouragement during our most difficult time." - Dawn Tuthill"As a bereaved parent, I so identify with Sara's experiences and so appreciate how she is allowing God to bring good from what seemed to be only bad after the loss of her precious daughter. Her devotional sharing is very encouraging and yet so real and vulnerable." - Laurita Vodak"I have not experienced losing a child but reading Footsteps of Hope helped me realize that I am still struggling with some of the effects of the loss of a young friend and the loss of a close grandmother. Not only did Sara help me see where I was still struggling with loss in my own life, her writing made me feel as if a friend had come to sit down next to me and help me work through it. She encouraged me by being honest about the uncomfortable subjects and struggles that she dealt with and by sharing the proactive steps she has taken to help on her own journey. I now realize that I am on my own specific path to healing and that I can take various combinations of actions unique to my journey to help along the way." - Amber Dawn Stilwell"Sara Nelson has beautifully captured the feelings of a bereaved parent. Any parent who has lost a child will be blessed by this devotional." - Mary Diaz"Sara Faith Nelson shares her personal journey of grief in a way that is encouraging for others who are grieving the death of a loved one. Sara shares her experience of the process of grief and her faith in God, as well as practical suggestions to help one survive and thrive through the heartbreak of grief and loss. Perhaps the most powerful message for other survivors is that "You are not alone." As a professional counselor, I would recommend this book as a source of understanding, encouragement, and hope for those who are grieving." - Catherine Saffels"Using the beautiful metaphor of a journey, with its accompanying mileposts, Sara Nelson has peeled back the layers of her heart to reveal not only the pain she has experienced in the loss of her daughter, but also the hope she has found from God's Word. I have no doubt that God will use this book, which often reads like the Psalms, to come alongside other grievers and reassure them that life does go on after the loss of a child--miraculously and beautifully--by God's amazing grace. This book will bring great hope and comfort to this broken world." - Brenda Shipman"Footsteps of Hope is aptly titled. This book is more than a mother's sharing of the extremely painful loss of her only daughter; this book is a testimony of the ever-present healing grace of Almighty God for every circumstance of life lived in an imperfect world. He really is our fortress and high tower and when we run to Him as Sara did, God comes to us, wave after wave, with grace upon grace for our every need." - Judie Foster
