As Long as You Need: Permission to Grieve:
"This book arrived at my house on the day my husband died. Even though I had pre-ordered this book in February for multiple reasons, preparing for my husband's death in April was not one of them. For me, that timing said to me that God saw me, loved m"

Malcolm Newsome's review
of
As Long as You Need: Permission to Grieve:
"This is one of the most profound books I've read on any topic. That said, the fact that it's centered on grief makes it all the more essential. I haven't seen anyone comment on grief the way J. S. Park does...and I sure am grateful for his words and "

"This is a book I won’t get over for a long time. In a world where too many people want to simplify, gloss over, dismiss, or impose their own timelines onto the grief of others out of their own discomfort or inability to reckon with it, this book look"

“If you're only thinking, It's evangelism time! —you might become one of those insensitive doctrine-nerds that overcomplicates things while firing off apologetics to "win" people. But you're a real human being with a story, dealing with other real human beings who have stories. So, what's your story? How did God save you? Maybe you went to church your whole life, and then suddenly God knocked you out of the pew into His total grace and you started feeding the homeless and reading to blind kids. Or maybe you were doing black tar heroin, punching cops in the face while throwing puppies out of a moving vehicle, and Jesus uppercut you in your soul. Either way, you were saved. You have a testimony.”

“I will love you like God, because of God, mighted by the power of God. I will stop expecting your love, demanding your love, trading for your love, gaming for your love. I will simply love. I am giving myself to you, and tomorrow I will do it again. I suppose the clock itself will wear thin its time before I am ended at this altar of dying and dying again. God risked Himself on me. I will risk myself on you. And together, we will learn to love, and perhaps then, and only then, understand this gravity that drew Him, unto us."[21] — Donald Miller”

“The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say 'My tooth is aching' than to say 'My heart is broken.'"[21]”

“God uses chronic pain and weakness, along with other afflictions, as his chisel for sculpting our lives. Felt weakness deepens dependence on Christ for strength each day. The weaker we feel, the harder we lean. And the harder we lean, the stronger we grow spiritually, even while our bodies waste away. To live with your ‘thorn’ uncomplainingly — that is, sweet, patient, and free in heart to love and help others, even though every day you feel weak — is true sanctification. It is true healing for the spirit. It is a supreme victory of grace.”

“I feel so sorry that many Christians live in bondage even though Jesus has signed their release form with His own blood.”
