Reviews

Book Review By: +Dr. David & Lisa Frisbie The Center for Marriage and Family Studies “Everyone processes grief differently. Sometimes it may feel as if you're "stuck" in a phase or a stage… this book can help you understand what you're experiencing, plus show you some practical, helpful next steps. Excellent for anyone in a "Celebrate Recovery" program, or anyone who has experienced grief, loss, or crisis.”
