One more day to pre-order Embracing Gethsemane: Navigating Life’s Darkest Moments. Here are a few of the people who may benefit from reading my eBook when it launches tomorrow.

I wrote this book for people who have lost hope, for those who are struggling to find meaning in their pain, and for anyone who has faced a great loss without understanding why.

It's for the person who has endured the heartache of losing a loved one and for those who strive to do everything right yet still encounter adversity.

The inspiration behind Embracing Gethsemane stems from a deep-seated belief that within our most challenging moments lie opportunities for profound transformation and growth. The title itself is a metaphor, drawing on the biblical story of Gethsemane, where Jesus experienced immense anguish but also found strength and surrender. Like that poignant story, this book aims to guide readers through their Gethsemane-like moments, not to diminish the pain but to find a path through it.

I wrote this book for you—the person who feels overwhelmed by the incomprehensibility of your suffering, who questions the fairness of life when faced with loss and grief. It's for you, the one who has stood by your values and beliefs, only to be met with trials and injustices.

This book is a companion for your journey, offering a glimmer of hope when all seems dark. In Embracing Gethsemane, I use aspects of my journey as a springboard to explore the complexities of pain and loss. My experiences, though unique, share a universal thread with the stories of many others.

By sharing these insights, I aim to create a connection with you, the reader, to show that you are not alone in your struggles. This book seeks to address the myriad ways in which suffering manifests in our lives.

Whether it's the acute pain of a recent loss or the chronic ache of enduring injustice, Embracing Gethsemane is an invitation to explore the depth of your heartache. It's an encouragement to acknowledge your pain, to give it a voice, and, crucially, to find a way forward. In these pages, you will find not only reflections on suffering and loss but also practical guidance on navigating these tumultuous experiences. It's about understanding that while we may not always have control over the events that befall us, we have a choice in how we respond to them.

This book offers perspectives on how to approach your trials and suffering with grace, resilience, and a newfound sense of purpose. To those who feel like they are perpetually trapped in the throes of suffering,

Embracing Gethsemane extends a hand. It's a message that, even in your darkest times, there is a pathway to a place where pain can be intertwined with hope, where suffering can lead to a deeper understanding of life and, ultimately, where healing begins.

In writing this book, my goal is to reach out to you, to offer comfort and understanding, and to affirm that your pain is seen and acknowledged. Embracing Gethsemane is an invitation to not just endure the nights of the soul but to find meaning and light within them.
