One reader who reviewed his book,<br />
“Struggling with Grief, Finding Peace,” said,<br />
“This book was written for me and several<br />
of my close friends that have recently lost<br />
their mates. I read this book slowly, allowing<br />
myself to read and absorb one chapter<br />
per night and didn’t want to get to the end.<br />
“My husband and I had been married 61<br />
years. My deep grief has caught me somewhat<br />
by surprise. I thought since he had<br />
been sick so long, and I had grieved for<br />
years, that I wouldn’t struggle as I have.<br />
The finality was so harsh. Although I know<br />
without a doubt he is with Jesus, I just miss<br />
him so! Your book helped me with this<br />

“Your book has encouraged me to keep<br />
on keeping on,” the reader added. “The<br />

Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous. Do<br />
not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the<br />
Lord your God will be with you wherever you<br />
go. “In the months after my wife died,” says<br />
Walter, “I began to realize that the wellknown<br />
verse from Joshua was the great testimony<br />
of Dean’s life. I wrote the book with<br />
153 pages as a tribute to her, a life spent<br />
encouraging others to live as strong and<br />
courageous servants of Jesus Christ.<br />
“God truly captured Dean’s heart with<br />
these four words: ‘Be strong and courageous.’<br />
I am praying that all who read this<br />
book will be inspired by the Holy Spirit to<br />
believe they too can live in this world of<br />
violence and suffering as strong and courageous<br />
servants of Jesus.”<br />
Some of his most popular books in addition<br />
to Struggling with Grief, Finding Peace<br />
and Be Strong and Courageous, include When<br />
You Lose Someone You Love, Life’s Greatest<br />
Adventure, Changing Your World, God is Not<br />
Done with You and Living in Christ – the Only<br />
Way to Live.<br />
