When Edith was stillborn without warning, Jonny and Joanna were stunned and confused. Why wasn't anyone talking about baby loss? Where could they turn for help? Who would answer their burning questions? One in in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage; one in 200 in stillbirth. And yet, while the church offers resources to cope with suffering generally, there is often an echoing silence when it comes to the trauma of baby loss. 'When we lost our daughter Edith,' say Jonny and Joanna, 'it was painful indeed to find the lack of biblically rooted and pastorally sensitive resources.' Nothing really hit the mark, so, through tears, they wrote this book. It comes to you, or someone close to you, with a massive hug. It is the authors' prayer and passion that you will be amazed by our great God as you connect with deep truths from the Bible, bringing healing to your heart, mind and soul.
Silent Tears is a story of tragedy and triumph. It chronicles one woman's struggle through various life situations that caused her anguish of the mind, body and soul. In our efforts to prevent others from seeing what is really happening in our lives, we have a tendency to mask ourselves, pretending that everything is fine, when in reality, we know we are not walking in truth. Sometimes, we view the shedding of tears as a sign of weakness, so in order to avoid having this stigma placed upon ourselves, we refuse to allow ourselves to cry openly when the need arises. Keeping painful emotions, thoughts and feelings locked up inside ultimately damages us and prevents us from becoming who God created us to be. Take this journey with the author through her own Silent Tears, and allow her to share the story of how God moved her from tragedy to triumph and from despair to deliverance.
