This rich collection of Scripture, poetry and prayer will help to bring comfort and peace to the bereaved.

Full of faith, but not afraid to face the darkness, these passages are grounded in the experiences of men and women across the centuries who have found words to express the emotions of bereavement with sympathy and understanding. Their prayers reveal the compassion and hope of God at even the most difficult times.

This beautifully designed book is a helpful resource that deals with a difficult subject.

Christopher Herbert is Bishop of St Albans and the author of a number of books on prayer. He is also the compiler of Pocket Prayers and Pocket Prayers for Children.
