A Grief Unveiled: Gregory Floyd’s journey through grief after the tragic death of his youngest son recounts the full impact of such a loss on a typical Catholic family. In this expanded edition, he more than ever before allows the reader into his heart as he grapples with emotions that question the goodness of God in the midst of unbearable grief. He also answers the question: What is it like to live with such grief ten, fifteen, twenty years later?

Lament for a Son: Christian philosopher Nicholas Wolterstorff writes not as a scholar but as a loving father grieving the loss of his son. A profoundly faith-affirming book, Lament for a Son gives eloquent expression to a grief that is at once unique and universal--a grief for an individual, irreplaceable person. Though it is an intensely personal book, he says, "in the hope that it will be of help to some of those who find themselves with us in the company of mourners."

Waiting for Eli: A Father's Journey from Fear to Faith is about a Lafayette, La., couple and their infant son Eli who was born with a dreaded birth defect called spina bifida. It is an inspiring story of faith, hope and the power of prayer. The book takes us on an emotional roller coaster ride, starting with the day the author first learns of his son s medical condition.
