Silence is like a burglar alarm that won't turn off. Grief must like silence; the mere whisper of a cry or hint of a tear and Grief makes its presence known. Silence is a megaphone for Grief. A constant that is a deafening reminder of what I am missing. Yet, I find at times it also promotes a quietness with my Lord. Somehow I need to find a way to cherish the solitude in a positive way. "Proving once again that God's light is brightest when our hour is darkest, Walking through the Valley of Tears is one man's surprising discovery of unending grace at his time of greatest grief. This is a must read for anyone experiencing loss or needing affirmation of God's limitless love." -Rosemary Clair, author of Heir of Earth "When your body is exhausted and your soul is parched, you can find unexpected comfort, nurture, rest, and renewal in the darkness of the valley. Buddy McElhannon reminds us that resources are abundant in the valley as the living water pours forth through tears and grief gives way to the riches only heartache can cultivate. Heartwarming, honest, and hopeful, Buddy gently invites us all to journey together with Christ through the depths of the valley and introduces us to good soil, calm water, and the protected canopy that God provides so we can once again shout with joy from the mountaintop. I promise that Buddy will be a helpful guide as you find strength in weakness, hope in despair, and joy in journey while Walking through the Valley of Tears." -Reverend Catherine Boothe, United Methodist minister and former hospital chaplain

Walking the painful path of divorce leaves us feeling isolated, despaired, and doubtful of any happiness and peace again. While the narratives shared in this book are theirs alone, there are great commonalities. Each is full of pain; but even in the valley of messy, broken, and death-filled relationships, there is relief, healing, and hope in every story. You will find hopeful reassurance in and through the raging storms and valleys of shattered relationships. No matter the wounds, Tim Scott reminds us there is a healing balm that sustains us if we will make the choice to turn to Christ in our brokenness. We have every reason to hope. --Terry W. Pollard, pastoral coach and mentor (Des Moines, Iowa) The weaving of the experience of different people of both genders and ages along with strong biblical reference and relevance creates an undeniable picture of the human condition. In reading this book, God will stretch your thinking and sensitize your heart to the heart of this painful reality. A must-read for anyone interested in representing the real Jesus to a broken world. --Pastor Ernest Mullins (Raleigh, North Carolina) As a pastor and child of divorce, I found Though I Walk through the Valley a heartfelt, gut-wrenching, and hopeful story of walking through the valley of divorce. This book is a great resource for those who find themselves in the heartbreaking situation of a broken dream and marriage. God's grace will walk with you every step of the way. --Pastor Gina Colburn, BreakPointe Community Church (Overland Park, Kansas) I believe that Though I Walk through the Valley will be a very helpful resource, both to those who have gone through a divorce or who are on the verge of going into one. Most of us in the church are unaware of the opportunity for ministry among those we know who are going through this valley. This book will be a great resource in helping the church understand the struggles of an individual going through a divorce. --Pastor Shawn DeOrnellis (Milton, Washington) Sharing many people's stories makes Though I Walk through the Valley very relatable. I believe God is going to use this book to minister to many. --Pastor Dan Menefee, Crossroads Wesleyan Church (Rapid City, South Dakota)

What if just beyond this season of turmoil is your best season yet? This book will help you understand that God is working all things for your good and that He can turn any season into a time of blessing. It would be easy to navigate life if every problem, every pain, and every setback came with a telegraph that enabled us to prepare for their arrival. But often our greatest struggles come with the least warning and feel like the greatest threat to our future. Even the most committed Christians find themselves in seasons that challenge their faith, shake their hopes, and make them fearful when thinking of the future. In Acts 8, the church experienced an unprecedented season of persecution, pain, and chaos. One of their leaders, Stephen, had been killed. The believers were being hunted. Their lives were being threatened. In addition to the fear and frenzy, Saul was wreaking havoc in the church. But following this season of being persecuted and terrorized, Acts 9:31 reveals that God changed the trajectory of their lives with two words: after this! After the pain, the fear, the loss, the misery, after the confusion and chaos, God decided it was time to change their season. The season of struggle that seemed like it would last forever had an expiration date! Like the early church, we must see that no matter how tough the situation we’ve walked through has been, it will not end there! There is a blessing and breakthrough coming after this! After This is an encouraging compass that points us to all that is waiting for us in the next season of our lives. It is a prophetic word revealing that this coming shift is a transition into a time of peace, multiplication, comfort, and strength. After the misery, after the mess, after the divorce, after the break up, after the bankruptcy, after the failure—even after COVID-19—there is an “after this” coming that will change everything for those who belong to God.

All human beings want to be happy. The longing for happiness does not have to be learned, it is innate. And it can hardly be unlearned. For we never simply acquiesce in unhappiness. Christian faith, the Christian way of life, and the imitation of Christ are understood to be signposts pointing the way to happiness. Upon this depends their credibility and their attractiveness. The highly regarded teacher, writer and pastoral churchman, Cardinal Schonborn, talks about man's happiness, small and great, about happiness as it is supposed to be and as it is discovered. He explains what it means to say that all human beings are created for happiness. His insightful writings are centered on meditations about happiness and also about the deeper meaning of love and friendship. Yet the Archbishop of Vienna also discusses the essential questions of faith, including reflections on the Name of God as seen in Scripture, on dealing with the tragedies of modern times, consolation for the sorrowful and on the spiritual roots of western civilization. In addition he discusses the importance of literature, and how it addresses the deeper questions about life, as demonstrated in his literary discussions of the works by C. S. Lewis, Gertrud von Le Fort and William Shakespeare. He shows how their works give witness to a happiness that overcomes all darkness through suffering, trials and especially forgiveness.

On February 6, 2023, eight-year-old Dallin Cunningham, fell from a slide at school and hit his head on the frozen ground. On the evening of the next day, his mother Kathryn sang him lullabies as his soul slipped quietly through the veil. Walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death is her account of what filled those two days: the sorrow, the tears, the decisions, and most importantly, the miracles. It is a witness of the awful inevitability of death, that mountain that looms over this valley of mortality. It is a testimony of the loving mercy of our Savior Jesus Christ, the only one who can warm and guide us when that mountain’s oppressive shadow darkens our path. Through this book, Kathryn Cunningham offers her testimony that in her days of deepest distress, she tested the words of our prophet that we should seek and expect miracles and found they were true. This story will help you see miracles in your own life and losses, and it will strengthen your testimony of the truthfulness of the plan of salvation.
