Walking Through Tragedy With Victory

A Study Guide for Grief, Loss, and Healing

When tragedy strikes, we question everything. Tragedy shakes the foundation of our world and beliefs. We hope this book encourages those in the midst of tragedy. Drawn from our personal loss and the following meditation on Scripture, we offer nine principles that deeply encouraged us.

Grief never ends, it only gets easier. We cannot promise that this book will end your grief. We can only promise that God’s Word does not return void (Isaiah 55:11) and “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” (Proverbs 30:5, NIV).

With this study guide you will explore, engage, and examine each of the Nine Principles of Walking Through Tragedy with Victory.
