Writing With a View of the Graveyard: Loss, Life, and Unruly Grace

Ruth E. Hetland, a parish pastor for two decades in rural and urban churches, writes about faith, family, and spiritual community in this heartfelt and sometimes heartbreaking journey through the church year. This beautiful book of grace-filled devotions, accompanying scripture, prayers, and vibrant photographs of serene country churches in Minnesota, North Dakota, Texas, and Norway is rich with humanness, honesty, and loving detail. It is a meditation on the chaos of grief, the wonderful mess of being alive, and the mystery of God’s presence and provision through all our seasons. Whether you savor it in small doses or devour it in one sitting, here you will find a feast and nourishment for your spirit.Especially if you are grieving the death of your mother or father, this devotional written by a Lutheran clergywoman is for you.
