LONGWOOD, FL-Life is what we make of it. We can blame others for our problems, as many people do, but we are the only ones who are really responsible for our decisions in life. And when we experience personal tragedy as a result of those decisions--there is hope, and it can only be found through asking God for help and seeking His comfort to help ease our pain. After three separate automobile accidents involving her beloved children shattered Xulon Press author Lori Koos' world, the emotional pain she felt was unrelenting, causing her to cry out, "Lord, when will bad things stop happening to me?" In Grief to Grace ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-60791-499-0), the author tells how God helped her walk through the dark valley and back into the light--and how He can do the same for you.
Says Koos, "The horrific nature of my children's accidents is newsworthy in itself. All three accidents were media knowledge, but to have them happen to one person seemed a little odd to me. This reoccurrence got my attention, and my thoughts were turned toward God. It took three accidents to realize I needed to change my lifestyle and live for Christ. God is the one to be praised in this book!"
The author says that today--and as a result of these trials and tribulations--she is an avid lover of Jesus, serving members of her church and local community with compassion and grace. Although she received temporary comfort from professionals in the years following her children's accidents, there was no cure to fill her emptiness inside. But by learning to live a new life in God, He answered her prayers to be happy again.
