Information, interviews and practical advice on the greatest losses we face: death and divorce.
Tracing the Rainbow looks at bereavement through the eyes of a psychiatrist, and through the eyes of those who have mourned themselves. A mixture of information, interviews and practical advice, it seeks to answer the questions:
- What is grieving?
- How does it affect people physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually?
- How can those who mourn help themselves?
- How can those around them help them?
- What is normal grief?
- When does grief become abnormal and in what way?
- How do childhood experiences influence our ability to grieve, and what can we do about it?
Pablo Martínez and Ali Hull concentrate on the two greatest losses that face us:
death and
divorce, and seek, through a mixture of intensely personal stories and gentle psychiatric insight, to provide tools for getting through the hardest times in life.
This is a much-needed book. How should we as Christians cope with bereavement, grief, loss, unanswered prayers and unfulfulled aspirations? The authors have sensitively researched this area of trauma in the light of Scripture and case histories. An ideal gift for those in loss, wondering "why?". (Gerald Coates, Pioneer Team Leader, speaker, author, broadcaster)
This is a remarkable book; it provides a powerful combination of professional insights, biblical wisdom, personal experience and practical support. Profoundly human, helpful and hopeful. (Jonathan Lamb, Director, Langham Preaching, Langham Partnership International, Chairman, Word Alive)
