Editorial Review:
Shunning platitudes and easy answers, Nancy Guthrie deals head-on with the issues experienced by those who are going through suffering and loss. Through lessons drawn from the biblical story of Job and the experience of losing her infant daughter, Hope, Nancy gently challenges readers to embrace suffering as a means of discovering a more meaningful relationship with God. Holding On to Hope offers an uplifting perspective, not only for those experiencing monumental loss but also for anyone going through difficulty and failure. Ms. Guthrie's story of losing her daughter is woven beautifully throughout, adding a richness and credibility lacking in many books on suffering. After finishing the manuscript, the author added an epilogue that deals with an additional devastating loss--the death of her infant son Gabriel who died of the same disease that took her daughter Hope.

Rating:  - heartwrenching, helpful, but somewhat abrasive
I bought this book after I gave birth to a stillborn son. I was crushed beyond words and was looking for some hope. While I agreed with most of the book and understood the author's point, I do not believe she got at the true heart of God. I believe that God uses all things for good, but he does not bring senseless, horrific suffering into our lives just so we can learn something.

Rating: - A story of hope in the midst of sorrow
Don't even think about reading this withough kleenex. The reflections are thoughtout and heartwarming. Well worth the brief time it will take you to read.
Rating: - HOPE AND SURVIVAL THROUGH THE STORM
THIS WAS ONE OF THE MANY BOOKS I READ AFTER MY MISCARRIAGE. THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST STUDY AND LINK TO SOLACE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD HAS TO PROVIDE THAT I HAVE FOUND. I WAS LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER FROM GOD OF WHY AND HOW. THIS BOOK GAVE ME A PATH AND WAYS TO COPE AND HEAL THROUGH BIBLE VERSE AND DISCUSSION OF JOB.
COME TO COPE AND BUILD STRENGTH THROUGH LOSS WITH GOD THROUGH THIS GENUINE BIBLE STUDY. I HOPE IT BRINGS AS MUCH FAITH AND UNDERSTANDING TO OTHERS AS IT BROUGHT TO ME.
Rating: - Holding On To Hope
I found this book 4 years ago in Walmart, my Mom had just passed away, and my Father 2 yrs before her. Being a Christian it helped me see God's hand through the losses we had experienced.
Since that time I believe I have purchased almost 10 more books. Giving them to people in the pain of their loss, recently my husband had a student pass away at school, heart failure, at a very young age. Another to a young Mom whose baby passed away from an infection.
As inexpensive as these books ... Read More
Rating:  - More a bible study than a book
We had listened to her interview on Family LIfe Radio and were really touched by that. So I was a bit disappointed to not have more of that feeling. The Bible study looked fine.
