Book: "Hope: Love's Greatest Gift" by Catherine Petersen-Duran "HOPE:  Love’s Greatest Gift"

Have you ever cried out, "God, where are you? Why is this happening to me?" I have. My story is one of grief and pain and how God has been my strength through some of the most trying times in my life. One of the most defining moments was when my husband was suddenly killed in a plane crash and I found myself a young widow with three small children. There was nowhere to turn, except towards God’s embrace.

No one is immune from suffering in this life. As long as we live in this world, as long as we have air in our lungs, we are subject to trouble, heartache and pain. The good news is we were not meant to overcome intense problems on our own. We don’t have the strength. There is only one person who can hold us through the storm threatening to destroy us. God is that anchor. He secured me during the darkest hours of my paralyzing grief, and he can do the same for you.

In this book, there are proven principles of faith-walking, spiritual training, and steps for inner healing wrapped up with ribbons of my personal experiences. If you believe these words and apply them to your life, you will discover lasting peace, inner healing and love’s greatest gift-- hope.

The book is currently available at Amazon.com. Click here to order.
 
Reader’s Comments:
"I had a total melt down sobbing for a very long time unable to settle down enough to sleep. I picked up your book and through my red, swollen eyes began to read. I received such comfort and encouragement from your words. I don’t think anyone who has not gone through this kind of loss can really understand the battle that goes on between soul and spirit – ’My soul wanted to give up more than anything to escape the pain, fear and despair.’ The battle is strongest when I climb into our king-sized bed all by myself."

"Thanks for letting me know about your book. Although I just received it, I have already read most of it. It is really good — and I appreciate the solid Biblical truths you proclaim so strongly. With all the "dumbing down" of the truth of the Bible, this is especially refreshing.

You are to be commended for your excellent work. I'm sure it was really a lot of work, but you did it with class!"

"I just finished your book. Thank you for the experience of intimacy with you. I have been drawn closer to you and to God over these past days of you sharing with me through your book. Thank you."

"I can not even imagine how you must have felt writing it down. Your openness and willingness to share such personal and intimate details of your past impressed me so much. I am sure that other women going through the loss of a husband or someone very close to them, must go through similar experiences, but they may not be able to verbalize or share them, and may wonder if they are the only one with thoughts and feelings like that. How healing it could be for them just reading your book and seeing that they are not alone and there are others who can understand their pain."

"Soldier In the House"

They stand watch for every citizen of the United States, bravely fighting for our constitutional freedoms, performing their duty with honor and pride, laying down their very lives if need be. Their discipline and training secures them in the face of danger and enemy fire. They react in combat situations with cunning and speed. No one can deter them from their mission. Nothing can stop them. Their resolve and devotion is rock solid. Semper fideles. Always faithful.

Imagine if every person who began their journey with Christ submitted themselves to the calling into God’s family as a recruit submits to his/her commissioning in the service. Just think what a difference it would make as we fulfill our purpose here on this earth.

This small booklet includes an up close and personal story written by a Marine, and a Bible study guide taking you through the basic elements of a soldier’s life. It can be used as a private devotion or as a small group study.

Prayerfully,
Catherine
