Writers need to write about what they know. Anne knows grief. Having lost her mother, her father, and 3 of her siblings and most recently her baby granddaughter, Anne is well acquainted with grief. She wants those who have lost loved ones to know they are not alone which is the main message of her latest book, Always There: Finding God's comfort through loss.
Always There is a book that offers hope and encouragement for life’s more difficult seasons. Anne shares straight from her heart. She laces her book of a beautiful tapestry of her poetry, one poem carefully tucked in each chapter. Anne’s words will embrace you with God’s comfort, and provide you with hope and a purpose beyond your pain.
Anne Peterson's book, Always There, Finding Comfort in Loss, is a great combination of narrative, faith-building words of encouragement and hope, and heartfelt poems of Anne's that takes one on a journey of a growing faith in God and the comfort it gives. It gives insight about the devastation loss in life brings, and her dealing with grief provides helpful takeaways.
I love Anne Petersons writing! In her new book, “Always There”, brings a unique perspective given from Gods point of view on the topic of grief. Anne fills the pages with a story, poem, and a lesson so gracefully illustrated with carefully chosen words. A must read from a gifted author.
