What Cannot Be Lost: How Jesus Holds Us Together When Life Is Falling Apart (A personal story of holding on to Christian faith in the face of suffering, grief and feeling depressed) (audio)

A personal story of holding on to faith in Christ in the face of loss. Author Melissa Zaldivar talks honestly about losing everything that once defined her and how God used unexpected opportunities, like working at Orchard House, where Louisa May Alcott wrote Little Women, to spark a journey of working through her grief and encountering the all-sufficient love of Christ. Weaving inspiring passages of Scripture and insights from Little Women into her personal story, Melissa encourages readers with her discovery that it’s when we have nothing left to offer that we can receive God’s love the most. And that’s something that can never be lost. Readers will be reassured that God will meet them in the midst of their mess and urged to look to him for help, comfort and strength. A great gift for those whose faith is being tested in the face of a loss of any kind—a loved one, a job or a relationship. Melissa Zaldivar holds a Master’s Degree in Theology from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. As an author and book marketer by profession, she has told the story of Jesus in contexts from Bible studies to articles with a voice that is young and honest. Walking through intense and traumatic experiences throughout her life, she has learned that God is constantly present, even during the darkest of seasons and hopes to share that hope with her readers with practical wisdom and Biblical truth. She’s the host of Cheer Her On, a podcast with over 12k downloads that is entering its third season.
