Reviews
No one who lives long in this life lives without disappointment, suffering, and heartache. The world is too broken for it to be otherwise; we are too wounded for it to be otherwise. Eric Forseth has written a rare book, one born of his own experience living with the weight of debilitating sickness in the most tender relationships of his life - and yet it is also a book for Everyman and Everywoman because in our very different ways we all know this story, painfully, we all know this story. What do we do with what we know? Our truest vocation is to live into the reality of our deepest faith, our deepest hope, our deepest love, if what we believe is going to honestly form the way we live. In this unique book, Holding Together invites us, slowly by slowly, to understand both the griefs of the world more fully, but also to make our way into its surprising graces. Steven Garber, author of Visions of Vocation and Principal of The Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation & Culture Eric Forseth brings great encouragement for those who have personally faced unexpected "physical" challenges. He asks important questions about how to serve others versus just focusing on one's circumstances or infirmities. If you are looking for a countercultural approach that leads to a Christ-centered, positive attitude, the Forseth family has lived out these tenets, and now Eric shares them with you. Ed Stetzer, author of Subversive Kingdom and Billy Graham Distinguished Chair, Wheaton College

    Great price for this huge book. Shipping was delayed but not too unreasonable though the book could have been packed a bit better with some bubble wrap as it tore through the very thin mailer envelope. Would recommend seller to cushion heavy books better when using thin mailer envelopes to avoid the tearing and potentially loosing books. Book is as described! Satisfied with my purchase and would buy from again if packaging was more sturdy. Thank you :)

    As described ,nice price, quickly shipped but not in a padded envelope, nor with a cardboard padding inside a regular envelope, so corners of book were free to be bumped in transit. They were not. The book looked good even with a tear at one corner of the envelope. Both the seller and the buyer were lucky.

    High quality book arrived in good condition as described. The book's appearance is satisfactory. A great value! Shipping: Seller shipped promptly. But I received an eBay message saying: USPS made a delivery attempt but were unable to proceed due to an insufficient address. Huh? Also, shipping history said book was "Held at Post Office At Customer Request." I didn't request this to be done! Next day I went to my USPS office. They fished around & found package. My address was correct. Weird.
