I received God of Comfort compliments of Bethany House Publishers in exchange for my honest review.
God of Comfort is a new devotional by speaker and author Lisa Appelo. This devotional was written to help readers process grief in a godly way. Lisa wrote it to comfort others with the comfort she’s received in Christ after she unexpectedly lost her husband, Dan. Having walked the road of grief after a miscarriage, I’m familiar with its facets. I’m not currently in a season of loss or grief, yet I’ve found God of Comfort to be a deeply encouraging read.
The devotions focus on different aspects of God’s character and how those grieving can find comfort in Him. They are full of Scripture and deep truths about God. Each devotional begins with Scripture and concludes with a prayer, a journaling prompt, and space for journaling, making this a helpful resource for processing grief. There are poems throughout the book that give words to the common emotions and experiences that accompany grief, and they make readers feel seen.
God of Comfort is lovely inside and out. I’m a sucker for pretty books, and this one fits the bill! I do wish the book came with a ribbon bookmark so it would be easy to remember which reading is next, but even sans bookmark, it is worth every penny. Whether you are grieving and/or desiring to be comforted by God’s character, I highly recommend purchasing God of Comfort.
