The few popular Bible stories about women are often presented in
black and white the women were good or bad, Ruth or Jezebel. But
most of us fall somewhere in between these two extremes. Good
Girls, Bad Girls invites readers to take a more nuanced look at 12
women in the Old Testament, to explore their lives more deeply in
historical context, and to grasp what these stories might mean to
women today. T. J. Wray, a biblical scholar, asks readers to
consider whether Jezebel was really as bad as generally believed,
and includes women ranging from the infamous Delilah to the
mysterious Witch of Endor. Impeccably researched and beautifully
written, Good Girls, Bad Girls will appeal to both individual
readers and groups interested in learning what the Bible really has
to say about these twelve important women.
A program for using dreams as a tool for healing loss
The universal experience of grief dreams can help us heal after
the death of a loved one. T.J. Wray and Ann Back Price show how
dreams can be uplifting, affirming, consoling, and inspiring. The
authors guide readers in ways to understand and value their dreams,
how to keep a grief dream journal, and how to use dreams as tools
for healing and consolation. This book is designed to help mourners
reclaim some measure of power in navigating the most difficult
journey of their lives. And, because it is helpful for any type of
loss, "Grief Dreams" is an ideal condolence gift.
When T.J. Wray lost her 43-year-old brother, her grief was deep and enduring and, she soon discovered, not fully acknowledged. Despite the longevity of adult sibling relationships, surviving siblings are often made to feel as if their grief is somehow unwarranted. After all, when an adult sibling dies, he or she often leaves behind parents, a spouse, and even children—all of whom suffer a more socially recognized type of loss.
Based on the author's own experiences, as well as those of many others, Surviving the Death of a Sibling helps adults who have lost a brother or sister to realize that they are not alone in their struggle. Just as important, it teaches them to understand the unique stages of their grieving process, offering practical and prescriptive advice for dealing with each stage.
In Surviving the Death of a Sibling, T.J. Wray discusses:
• Searching for and finding meaning in your sibling's passing • Using a grief journal to record your emotions • Choosing a grief partner to help you through tough times • Dealing with insensitive remarks made by others
Warm and personal, and a rich source of useful insights and coping strategies, Surviving the Death of a Sibling is a unique addition to the literature of bereavement.
