Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Through a Season of Grief
Bill Dunn · 2004
83/100
👍 Worth It
Tied to the GriefShare program that has helped over 100,000 families, endorsed by Focus on the Family, and featuring contributors like Kay Arthur and Elisabeth Elliot — this has more institutional credibility behind it than almost any other grief devotional on the market. A full year of daily entries acknowledges that grief doesn't resolve in a few weeks, and the multi-voice format keeps the year from feeling monotonous. The explicitly Christian framing is central to the book's identity, not incidental.
