When grief suddenly became her unwanted companion, Mary Potter Kenyon had a choice to make. Would she allow it to drown her, or would she allow this forced stillness to lead her on a path to a deeper friendship with God? Mary found herself journaling and looking in the Bible for answers to her many questions. Gradually she noticed that God was not only nearby but speaking to her in unusual and extraordinary ways. Mary tells of how through creativity she began to see that God was the best place for her to go for healing; shares of the realisation during her recovery that perhaps she could help others who were grieving too; and of the brave steps she took towards introducing people to the God she had come to adore. A story of turning to prayer, God’s word, writing, and art as God renewed Mary's strength and gave her a new voice for the broken hearted.
