Gerald L. Sittser
I had no way of anticipating the adjustments I would have to make and the suffering I would have to endure in the months and years ahead.
Gerald L. Sittser

Gerald L. Sittser
My prayer as you read this book is that you will find comfort for the disappointment of unanswered prayer, but also courage to continue on the epic journey that prayer is.
Gerald L. Sittser
It is how we respond to loss that matters. That response will largely determine the quality, the direction, and the impact of our lives.
Gerald L. Sittser
