Life is a journey through great blessings and at times, painful trials. We may be facing the loss of a loved one, a life-threatening disease, or a serious financial crisis. The trials may be building. They can catch us by surprise. When the trials do come, they can quickly overwhelm us while raising countless questions. Why do we suffer? How do we deal with the anxious moments? What is God’s purpose in all this pain? How do I emerge from this? Is it possible to have joy and hope, even in the middle of these long and difficult trials? In Joy and Hope, author Michael Fullmer shares his personal journey of discovery during a long series of personal trials. He includes a look at the many lessons learned as he sought answers through God’s word, prayer, and reflection. As God walked with him, he continued to discover strength when he thought he had none, blessings while still in the moments of pain, refinement as his heart grew closer to the Lord, and hope and joy, even while shedding tears.

Some take a lifetime to fulfill their purpose. Others, such as babies that die prematurely, need much less time to accomplish God’s plan for their lives. Authors David and Colleen Currie share the story of their tenth grandchild, Louis Gerard, to offer hope to families suffering the loss of an infant and to assist children in the grieving process. Loving Baby Louie is a poignant story that will help small children understand the loss of a sibling and the eternal life that awaits them in Heaven. As Scripture tells us, “No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Corinthians 2:9).
