Holding on in the Storm

Biblical wisdom for courage and guidance through sickness, suffering, death, and grief

Beschreibung

Whether you are walking through a season of loss or walking alongside someone who is, Holding on in the Storm by Dr. Bob Cutillo offers courage, comfort, and a deeply grounded biblical hope that speaks to the hardest parts of life. This healing book offers biblical reflection and wisdom for anyone navigating illness, grief, and the questions of faith that arise in suffering. In an earlier book, Dr. Cutillo wrote about biblical perspectives on health. Now, he shares the journey of caring for his wife through terminal cancer, exploring struggles faithful people have in facing illness, mourning a death, bereavement, and grief. This memoir is a sacred companion for anyone facing the loss of a spouse or other loved one. The book offers practical reflections on the hard questions Christians ask as they look for hope and healing through the Bible, prayer, and the support of family and friends. "For those who long to know that they are not alone in the confusion that suffering and death bring, this is a trustworthy place to start," writes Dr. Curt Thompson, MD, author of The Deepest Place: Suffering and the Formation of Hope. Chapters are organized around familiar medical milestones: testing, diagnosis, treatment, decline, and the steps beyond death. Each chapter moves from honest storytelling to theological reflection. As he walks through the painful realities of caregiving and bereavement, Dr. Cutillo challenges readers to examine their own faith amid these struggles, and invites them to rediscover the unshakable truth that even in our darkest moments, God is holding onto us. "This makes it a perfect book for small group study, both an engaging, heartfelt story along with a clear-headed biblical understanding of suffering and death," writes Mark Galli, former Editor in Chief at Christianity Today. This book is ideal for individual reading or as a gift to someone you know who is grieving.
