Comments:
Joyce Jamerson knows a lot about grief. Unfortunately she was forced to learn it from the sudden death of her nineteen year old daughter. As difficult as that must have been, Joyce did not allow her immense sorrow to destroy her. What she gained from her struggle is shared in the book, Will You Wipe My Tears? Seeing the journey Joyce had to travel and discovering what was helpful to her and what was a hindrance can help us to behave more appropriately and usefully in the future. Joyce drew strength from the Lord to see her through and she fulfills the words of the apostle Paul in Second Corinthians chapter one as she comforts others with the comfort she received from our Lord. Each chapter of the book contains biblical wisdom, personal experience, insight from poetry and other thought-provoking literature, as well as study questions. The reader can use the questions to meditate on her own, or use as discussion in a group. I have not had to experience the loss of those closest to me. However, as a preacher’s wife I have found myself in the midst of funeral preparations for others. Even though I teach Communication classes at a university, I am often at a loss for the right words to say to family members and close friends at funerals and in the months of adjustment that follow. So often the sentiments that come quickly to mind may do more harm than good. Joyce’s chapter on what to say and do is so helpful. This book can help you be better prepared to approach a period of grief whether from death, poor health, financial loss, divorce, or whatever circumstance turns your life upside down. It would make a good gift for others also. I recommend it without reservation. Kathleen M. Trigg, preacher’s wife and college professor, Georgia Jamerson’s book is phenomenal. I was flying home and figured I would try to get in a chapter or two before taking a much needed nap on the plane. When the plane landed, I had only two chapters left of the book and didn’t want to leave. I wanted to finish. Joyce, I am enthralled with my first reading of Will You Wipe My Tears? You have done a wonderful sequel to your lecture and audio tape which I have shared and used for years. I love the "hat wearing" incident on page 23. It is such a loving gesture to a sister. And your thoughts on David are so helpful and pertinent for any griever. Your friend Roger's comments are especially instructive and enlightening. Likewise, Byron's advice is apt and moving. He sounds like a wonderful son and brother! I also am so excited that the questions will make this available for my ladies class! This book is a wonderful work for our many grieving people-and for those grieving with them (Phil. 4:8). I predict it will become a classic on grieving. - Jerri Hamilton |
