Day 4 - Hope for Today, Promises for Tomorrow

This Bible study by Teske Drake takes the bereaved mother by the hand and shows her how God's promises of love, goodness, peace, and purpose, among others, are not null and void in the aftermath of losing a child.  Teske, founder of the Mommies with Hope ministry, is a three-time bereaved mother herself and she artfully weaves her story, as well as the stories of other women, throughout the study.  Unlike some other pregnancy loss Bible studies that place much emphasis on Loss and the grieving process, this book keeps the emphasis on Christ throughout while at the same time never minimizing the great loss that a baby's death is.  Journaling questions are placed at appropriate moments in each chapter, and these also provide places to begin discussions in a small group study environment, along with the additional study resources that are available on the Mommies with Hope website.  This is a truly wonderful, and potentially life-changing, book for anyone wanting to experiencing hope after the loss of a child.
