Ready Or Not is a "been-there" guide to surviving the devastation of grief. The author offers true sympathy, practical help and encouragement toward the promise of healing and new life. Presented in a devotional format, the book uses personal stories, applicable Scripture and the sound advice of trained counselors to offer understanding and a sense of accountability to the newly bereaved. Because grief is a process, the book discusses, on a personal level, various stages of suffering; because grief causes fatigue and lack of concentration, the chapters are short; because grief can be overwhelming, the author and contributors offer hope for the journey.
