What does it mean to be held?
Whenever tragedy strikes, be it a natural disaster, illness, disease, war, or the everyday depravity of mankind, the question, Why do bad things happen to good people? is immediately thrown down like a gauntlet, challenging God’s power, His love for us, and sometimes, even His existence.
It is times like these that we all wonder exactly what grace is and where it can be found.
Now, in this extraordinary follow-up to her best-selling Between Heaven and Ground Zero, 9-11 survivor Leslie Haskin paints a poignant portrait of the daily struggles of those whose lives have been crushed by the weight of tragedy and who have been left wondering about the mercies of God.
Delving deep into the uncertainties of spirituality and fear that grip us all in times of tragedy and heartache, Haskin emerges with an inspiring message of hope and the good news that no matter what devastating blows life delivers to our spirit, God is bigger.
He is faithful and unchanging, merciful and consistent with His offer to us, that through it all, we will be comforted, we will be loved, we will be HELD.
