When You Lose a Loved One

When You Lose a Loved One presents a hopeful message of resurrection and eternal life--a message Christians have heard so many times before. But in death's aftermath, people often need assurance of what they know is true about life after death. So Charles Allen offers the bereaved a beautifully crafted reminder that the Easter message robs death of its terror and promises a solution to life's mysteries.
Intermingled with Allen's prose are the comforting poems of Helen Steiner Rice. With an updated look and new organization, this encouraging book will bring meaning and hope to those who have lost loved ones.

Charles L. Allen (1913-2005) was the much-loved author of many books, including the bestselling God's Psychiatry.

From the 1920s and beyond her death in 1981, Helen Steiner Rice has been an unofficial poet laureate of hope and optimism. Her books have sold more than seven million copies and comforted nations through some of history's darkest moments. There probably isn't a single American family today that hasn't sent or received a greeting card featuring Rice's work, and her writings continue to inspire a new generation online, in gift books, and through note cards.
