Two Stitches and a Patch Overcoming Grief through the Power of Faith

“. . . valuable and worthy for any counselor, pastor, or person to have in his or her library.” —Christopher K. Cornine, PhD, LPC, NCC, CCMHC, Clinical Director, Diakonos Counseling

“Megli’s work helps to fill a large gap in needed literature from the perspective of biblical faith about death, dying, grieving, and living for eternity.” —Dr. Kenneth J. Parker, Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church, Kearney, Missouri; Author of Elephants in the Church: What the Bible Says about Fourteen Contemporary Issues

We are witnessing a crisis in the Christian community of unresolved grief and pain. Not acknowledging the truth of death holds us back from fully enjoying the divine gifts of hope and happiness.

If anyone can model the ability to live with joy after life, it's Job. Two Stitches and a Patch builds on the seven movements of Job's restored happiness while filling in the pieces of the divine action physics that leads to life after death.

Build confidence by leaning in and listening to those who are at the end of life, and reboot your life in the embrace of the changes that create a life well lived.
