Synopsis

Book by Baker Keren

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Empty Arms is an intensely practical book which has as its basis the autobiographical experience of a lovely family ravaged by death. Everyone would benefit from reading and understanding about bereavement, but for anyone in a similar situation to the Bakers, this account is not only a text book but a tonic, and may be even a true friend.' --From the foreword by Roger Carswell

'From the depths of her aching heart, a grieving mother gives words to the emotions that swell and surge after the sudden loss of a child. Keren Baker takes us from the sad, depressing grave of little Natalie on up to the portals of heaven, where the everlasting arms of love of the Lord Jesus envelope this precious girl, and encircle her family here below. There is no pain like the pain of losing a child, but there is no comfort like the comfort of Christ and Christian friends.' --Mary Beeke, Mother, teacher, and wife of Dr Joel E. Beeke

'Keren Baker shares with us her 'tapestry of grief and goodness' that was created after the sudden death of one of her young children. There is much here to cry at, but there is also a very real thankfulness for the essential love of God that carries her through her sorrow. This is a book that will help those of us who want to understand and know what to do and say when ministering to those who grieve.' --Rico Tice, Associate Minister of All Soul's, Langham Place, London

Présentation de l'éditeur

It is hard to imagine any greater pain than that of losing a little child. Losing a small child is like an amputation, so that though one may learn to live with the loss, the parent is never the same again. In the English language we have a word for those who have lost their parents: an orphan. We have a word for those who have lost their spouse: a widow or widower. We have no word for those who have lost a child. It is as if the very thought is too painful to put into words.
