In The Shadow of Grief: 21 Days of Discovering God's Presence in Life's Valleys

In The Shadow of Grief brings together the best of relevant Scripture readings, short devotionals, brief bible studies, hopeful affirmations, and leadership principles to create a transformative daily encounter with the Word of God. If you have ever experienced a loss or bereavement, this 21-day devotional is for you. Most of us haven’t been taught how to properly wrestle with seasons of grief, what to look for, or how to understand using faith in the face of trials. This book is designed to push the reader to wrestle with God, ask tough questions and be in position to hear from God. At the end of this journey, you will have a clearer understanding of who God is, answers to questions about grief, and have a deeper awareness of the benefit of emotional health in leadership from the home to the boardroom.“In the Shadow of Grief” combines Rev. Riley’s experience walking with grieving families in our community of faith with trustworthy Biblical scholarship and relevant leadership acumen in a way that everyone can understand. As people and as leaders we can no longer afford to neglect our emotional health. In 21 days the reader will encounter God’s transformative presence through reflection, God’s healing voice in transparent conversations and then connect their spirituality to their leadership capacity. I am convinced that this journal will make the leader, reader, family, and team more whole and therefore better.Timothy W.
