When we are faced with divorce, death, alienation of a child, a prodigal child, or any of the myriad traumas that can strike at any time, it can make us feel that our whole world has been shattered.
Tragedies such as these and others happen more frequently than we imagine, but all too often they only happen to "someone else". When they knock on our own door, the resulting brokenness of our hearts can overwhelm us.
In Cry of the Bleeding Heart, author Kathleen Brayley tells of how she faced the sudden and devastating destruction of her once close-knit family, which resulted in many heartbreaking years of being alienated from her youngest son. Her story however, is one of victory, as she emerged from the trial with her faith intact and joy restored.
This book offers hope to those who are going through a fiery trial, and reminds us that with God on our side, we too can say, "But He knoweth the way that I take; when He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold".
