'If ever there was a book Tim Challies needed to write, it's this one. And it's a book I needed to read. Within these pages, you will do more than enter Tim's story of enormous loss; you will come out on the other side having gained a softer heart and a renewed courage to persevere through your own dark seasons of affliction.'

Synopsis
On November 3, 2020, Tim and Aileen Challies received the shocking news that their son Nick had died. Seasons of Sorrow includes a selection of Tim's reflections sharing the poignancy of early grief, the doubts and fears that plague us during loss, and the faith and joy that sustain us through sorrow., An honest look at grief and fears, faith and hope. Combining personal narrative, sound theology, and beautiful writing, this is a book for anyone who has loved and lost. On November 3, 2020, Tim and Aileen Challies received the shocking news that their son Nick had died. A twenty-year-old student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, he had been participating in a school activity with his fiancée, sister, and friends, when he fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground. Neither students nor a passing doctor nor paramedics were able to revive him. His parents received the news at their home in Toronto and immediately departed for Louisville to be together as a family. While on the plane, Tim, an author and blogger, began to process his loss through writing. In Seasons of Sorrow, Tim shares real-time reflections from the first year of grief--through the seasons from fall to summer--introducing readers to what he describes as the "ministry of sorrow." Seasons of Sorrow will benefit both those that are working through sorrow or those comforting others: See how God is sovereign over loss and that he is good in loss Discover how you can pass through times of grief while keeping your faith Learn how biblical doctrine can work itself out even in life's most difficult situations Understand how it is possible to love God more after loss than you loved him before, On November 3, 2020, Tim and Aileen Challies received the shocking news that their son Nick had died. A 20-year-old student at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, he had been participating in a school activity with his fiancee, sister, and friends, when he fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground. Neither students, nor a passing doctor, nor paramedics were able to revive him. His parents received the news at their home in Toronto and immediately departed for Louisville to be together as a family. While on the plane, Tim, an author and blogger, began to process his loss through writing. Nick's death resonated through the evangelical world. His memorial service in the United States and funeral in Canada were watched by thousands. Tim's blog posts were read by hundreds of thousands as he gave voice to his sorrow and anguish, but also to his faith and hope. Seasons of Sorrow includes a selection of those early reflections, but also many pieces Tim has written since and not shared with the public. Separated into four seasons, from Fall to Summer, and written mostly in the present tense, Seasons of Sorrow shares real-time reflections from the first year of his grief. Seasons of Sorrow begins in the Challies living room with the phone call every parent dreads--We did everything we could. It ends exactly one year later as Tim ponders the final first. In a year of many firsts--a first Thanksgiving with an empty chair, a first Christmas with an empty stocking, a first birthday with no gifts, the anniversary of Nick's death is the final first and, thus, a fitting conclusion. Along the way, Tim shares the poignancy of his early grief, the doubts and fears that plagued him, the faith that sustained him, and the hope that has given him joy even through such sorrow.

  • Seasons of Sorrows

    Seasons of Sorrows is the best book on Grief I have ever read. It is totally biblically based with scripture to back up each scenario the author is talking about. My husband has Alzheimer's and even though he is still with me, I am experiencing a lot of what this book talks about. Instead of grieving the dead, I am grieving the living as his cognitive ability lessens. This book is for everyone that grieves anything in life and death.
