Bright Hope: 28 Daily Devotions for Grief in Light of the Gospel is written by our founder Erin Cushman to give hope and encouragement to those in mourning. Centered around Biblical truth, drawing on historical expressions of faith through hymns and poetry, and infused with personal experiences, Bright Hope is for anyone journeying through the lonely shadows caused by Death and toward the light of the gospel of Jesus.
Losing our daughter Gwendolyn 36 hours after her birth. There were so few hope-filled Christian resources for infant loss 10 years ago when I left the hospital empty-handed and shattered. I knew the Lord would be faithful to walk with me through the grief, but I didn’t know where to start. “What do I do? What do I read? What do I do with my questions? How can I process this? Can I survive this? Can my marriage? Will I ever be happy again? Is God still good? Can I still trust Him? How do I engage with a God who just broke me so thoroughly?” Those were questions for which I needed space to process, yet grief is so overwhelming, and it is such work. I needed small soundbytes of biblical truth to get me through the minute (the hour, the day). I needed something to ground me in God’s Word without drowning me. I needed direction on how to apply the truth to each specific moment. I needed a devotional like Bright Hope.
Bright Hope is intentionally short. It is intentionally crafted to walk through grief one day at a time, leading us through a progression of Coming to the Lord, Beholding Him, Finding His truth that secures us, and Walking out our grief with Him by our side.
Bright Hope can be purchased on Amazon.
