Holding on to Hope: A Pathway through Suffering to the Heart of God

“If you want someone to know they are not alone in their pain and help them understand where God is in the midst of their pain, Holding on to Hope is the best resource available. While the world questions why God allows loss and pain, Nancy shows us how to face it. Read this book, recommend this book and hope that just a portion of her courage and faith rub off on you.”

“You hold in your hand a treasure that was mined in a dark and frightening place. With transparent honesty, Nancy unwraps the joys and sorrows of her life. This is a book about life and our God, who holds us in all the moments of this life.”

“Only God could orchestrate such events. And only God could give the Guthrie family the faith and courage to live them. May He use this story to strengthen us all.”

“It's rare to find a book that combines insight, sensitivity, practicality and hope . . . this one does.”

“Nancy Guthrie's book offers hurting people companionship as well as encouragement to pursue God in the midst of their suffering. Pastors can recommend it with confidence that it will make a difference.”

“Few people have lived-and continue to live-as deep a firsthand experience of pain and loss as Nancy Guthrie. For that reason alone her Christian reading of the story of Job should lay special claim on readers themselves undergoing suffering. But there are other inducements: the clarity, grit, and honesty with which Nancy explains how she has maintained hope a deepened faith where most would find only heartbreak.”

“Holding On to Hope reads easy, runs deep, and enriches the heart! If you are stymied about God's goodness amidst life's heartaches, then this book's for you.”

“In a world where so much attention has been focused on a Christian message of health, wealth, and prosperity, Holding On to Hope is like a beacon of Light, drawing the reader to God and God alone.”
