Themes in the Midst

Sitting in this chair,
Wondering how I'll live.
Lost in questions,
Lost in, "Why?"
Through clouded mind,
Your quiet voice whispers,
"Live, my love, to the full.
I did not die!
I'm awake!
I'm alive!"
Grief is a personal journey that is often filled with unexplained emotions and numberless moments of walking side-by-side with Christ, praying for words, wisdom, and answers.
In a candid collection of narratives, stories, and poetry shared to help those struggling with loss, Mark Lanford offers an inspirational glimpse into his sometimes lonely, sometimes supported walk through heart-shattering grief after losing his wife of forty-two years. Within his confessional, redemptive, and restorative writings lie forgiveness; a surrendering of trust, faith and freedom; and finally a celebration of life as God-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-lovingly ministers and guides through every joy, memory, and sorrow.
Themes in the Midst chronicles a journey of great loss, immense grace, surrender, and finally profound joy as they interweave to create healing, all with utmost care by the hand of God.
