Books that helped me understand

An Unquiet Mind by Kay Redfield Jamison. This is the story of a woman living with the challenges of bipolar disorder.
Walking with God Through Pain and Suffering by Timothy J Keller. This is a biblical view of suffering which is sorely needed in the church today.
Heaven by Randy Alcorn. This book focuses on life after death, something that Christians today strangely don’t talk much about.
Facing Life without Them
An Open Letter to Grievers by Dr. Joanne Cacciatore. This is an excellent, tender, true look at what it looks life to live with grief.
