Reviews

"Amid our pain and grief, we look up and ask, 'Where is God?' The words 'you need to know you are not alone in this' is what separates this book from so many. Pastor and Author Gary Roe has once again solidified his status as the "go-to" resource for people struggling with grief. Keen insight and practical approach are how Gary Roe consistently and compassionately touches on the subjects that people going through grief actually need to hear, like 'It's okay to grieve'. Grief Walk takes it to the next level by combining his knowledge as one of the top grief counselors in the world with his heart of a Pastor. A must-read for anyone going through the pain of grief." - Scott Willmore, Senior Pastor, The Word Community Church "Grief is a daily journey after loss. Gary Roe has captured the essence of this struggle and provided on-point encouragement for each day of the journey. Well done!" - Dr. Tony Taylor, Senior Pastor, Hilltop Lakes Chapel "A griever's journey can be painful, lonely and overwhelming. Grief Walk filters our feelings with faith, reminding us--we are not alone. God walks with us every step of the way." - Dr. Charles W. Page, MD, author of A Spoonful of Courage "Gary has done it again! Grief Walk hits on all the emotions I have heard people speak about during my time as a Chaplain and leading support groups. I believe that everyone who reads this book will be able to relate to the emotions and find comfort, affirmation, and hope. The way faith is incorporated with the grief journey is refreshing. I have not found material that speaks about the challenges of prayer, scripture reading, and church attendance during the grief journey as Grief Walk does. I will be using this book for future support groups as I know this is going to help people break through barriers and into spiritual freedom." - Jessica D. Wilson, Hospice Chaplain, Life Coach "The grief journey is unique to everyone. Those who are Christians have a God that knows this personally. Jesus, when he walked around among us, experienced grief. He wept. In Grief Walk: Experiencing God After the Loss of a Loved One, Gary Roe uses God's word to create daily readings where the griever walks with God. The tough questions and emotions are addressed head-on, allowing the reader to experience the Jesus, the Balm of Gilead, to make them whole again." - Glen Lord, Board President, The Compassionate Friends, President and CEO, The Grief Toolbox
"Grief Walk is a collection of comforting blankets to wraparound your shoulders when you are feeling the pain of losing someone you dearly loved. The words speak directly to your grieving heart, reassuring you that you are not alone. The short chapters make it easy to pick up and read for just a few moments at a time."--Kathy Trim, Missionary Care and MK Care, TEAM Japan "Gary offers real, raw, and rational discussion on grief. He brings the practicality of experience and the truth of the Bible to help soothe the suffering soul. Grief is a journey, and Gary leads the reader from hurt to healing." - Dr. Troy Allen, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church College Station
