Stations of affliction

An honest look at pain and fears, faith and hope. Combining personal narrative, solid theology, and beautiful writing, this is a book for anyone who has loved and lost.

On November 3, 2020, Tim and Aileen Challies received the shocking news that their son Nick had died. A 20-year-old student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, he had been participating in a school activity with his fiancée, sister, and friends when he became unconscious and collapsed to the floor.

Neither the students, nor a doctor who was passing by, nor paramedics could revive him. His parents received the news at their home in Toronto and immediately left for Louisville to be together as a family. While on the plane, Tim, an author and blogger, began to process his loss through writing. In Seasons of Sorrow, Tim shares real-time reflections in the first year of grieving, through the seasons, from autumn to summer, introducing readers to what he describes as the "ministry of sorrow."

Seasons of Sorrow will benefit both those who are experiencing grief and those who comfort others:

• See how God is sovereign over loss and is good in loss
• Discover how you can go through times of pain while maintaining your faith
• Learn how biblical doctrine can function even in the most difficult situations of life
• Understand how it is possible to love God more after loss than you loved Him before.
