Endorsements

“I knew Erin Cushman’s new 28-day devotional book was going to be a great help as soon as I read the transparent, sobering first sentence of Day 1—”Grief makes us desperate.” Each day’s devotional entry offers a simple truth as nourishment for the mourning soul, then encourages quiet reflection. Biblical, life-giving, and unrushed, which is what grieving hearts need. I highly commend it.”
-Dr. Andy Snider, Lead Pastor, Radiant Church Austin

“Erin’s personal experience with grief, as well as her long, faithful ministry with Hope Mommies, make her a trustworthy companion for anyone wading through sorrow and loss. The empathy, biblical truth, and resources found within these pages will anchor and nourish you, pointing you to the God of all comfort.”
-Caroline Cobb, singer-songwriter

“Erin’s story and words give us all a courageous offering of hope in the darkness of grief and unanswered questions.”
-Sandra McCracken, singer-songwriter

“Grief is not processed in a tidy set of steps. While different people grieve differently Bright Hope points to one thing that is constant. Going through grief with Christ and in community makes it more bearable. I love the theme ‘come to God as you are’. Erin knows the wisdom and comfort of obeying that invitation. I encourage those who are weary, grieving, and going through a tough season to read, meditate, and reflect on this life-giving devotional.”
-Dr. Garrett Higbee, Pastor of Biblical Soul Care at Harvest Church; President of Soul Care Consulting; Leader Care Specialist for the Great Commission Collective

“This devotional is a 28 day journey with Jesus –  offering His clear, comforting, concrete counsel. Bright Hope extends authentic, poignant, and biblical guidance – a foundation of truth amidst the tumultuous feelings of grief. May your journey through this devotional provide an anchor of hope through whatever your personal valley of the shadow of death may be.”
-Autumn Williams, Director of UPPERROOM Global

“In a broken world, loss haunts us. To live resilient, we need the indomitable grace and durable hope grounded in the gospel and celebrated in this thoughtful devotional. If this is a season of grief, let the reflections and meditations within Bright Hope become a guide for your soul. Let the next 28 days be your fresh start. You won’t regret it.”
-Dr. Dave Harvey, President of Great Commission Collective, author of When Sinners Say I Do and I Still Do (RevDaveHarvey.com)

“When grieving, what you truly need above all else is to encounter the living God. This devotional will help you do just that. Erin humbly blends wisdom gained from her daughter’s heaven going, with a strong grasp of the Biblical narrative, to remind and move you toward the simple, profound joys of walking with Christ through grief and heartache.  If you know sorrow and want to reclaim hope, this devotional is for you.”
-Jennie Parks, Executive Director of Hope Mommies

“Women grieving the loss of a child desperately need to know they aren’t alone. But they also need to know God hasn’t forgotten them. Erin has given us a book that does both. She takes us to the word and to the throne of grace in worship and in prayer. And there we find hope and healing in our time of need. I wish I had this book when I walked through our own losses. This is a gift to women walking through the deep valley of grief.”
-Courtney Reissig, author of Teach Me to Feel: Worshiping Through the Psalms in Every Season of Life

“Sorrow, disappointment, and pain are such a common reality in this fallen world. It has been my experience as a pastor and counselor for many years that oftentimes people don’t know how or where to take these struggles. Erin has put together a wonderfully practical but amazingly deep resource to help people draw their hearts into the goodness and healing beauties of Jesus Christ. I am grateful for how Erin has used her own testimony of God’s healing grace through sorrow to point other people to the Hope extended through Jesus. I will be using this resource in our counseling ministries to equip and encourage through soul care.”
-Lee Lewis, Pastor of Soul Care at Radiant Church Austin; serves in a directing role in Soul Care Consulting
