ASHES TO CROWNS

 Ashes to Crowns offers a distinctively Christian way to grieve – with God and with hope, in the company of others who have experienced the sorrow of bereavement.

Acknowledging that grief has no fixed pattern, this is a book that can be dipped into wherever the reader finds themselves on their journey of grief. Kate Patterson draws from personal experience and wise grief counselling to offer profound biblical meditations that bring our deepest sorrow to the love of God. Full of wisdom and compassion, here is a compass to hope for the bereaved.

Endorsements

This is a beautiful, inspiring and profoundly hopeful book, born out of the raw pain of loss.

Dr Jeff Stephenson, Hospice Consultant

Having supported bereaved people and trained churches in

bereavement support for many years, I’ve realised how

important it is to present God as the Bible does, with the

hope God provides for our future, whilst being with us in the

storm. This book comes with the full endorsement of

AtaLoss as Kate does this beautifully. I recommend it to

any Christian who is grieving to find comfort and peace.

Revd Canon Yvonne Tulloch, CEO AtaLoss

This rare book offers company on this journey of grief - the

company of those who have walked this way themselves

and who have found a way to grieve with God, and not

alone. Time with this book will be time richly spent.

Alison Bryan Psychotherapist

A work full of sympathy, insight and hope, that deserves to

be read and shared widely.

Revd Canon J.John

Filled with real experiences, raw emotions and biblical

realities, this is the perfect companion to all who grieve.
