A Grace Disguised: How the Soul Grows through Loss (Hardback)

An expanded edition of this classic book on grief and loss—with a new preface and epilogue.

Loss came suddenly for Jerry Sittser. In an instant, a tragic car accident claimed three generations of his family: his mother; his wife; and his young daughter. While most of us will not experience such a catastrophe in our lifetimes, all of us will taste loss. And we can, if we choose, know the grace that transforms it.

A Grace Disguised plumbs the depths of sorrow, whether due to illness, divorce, or the loss of someone we love. The circumstances are not important; what we do with those circumstances is. In coming to the end of ourselves, we can come to the beginning of a new life—one marked by spiritual depth, joy, compassion, and a deeper appreciation of simple blessings.
