Acquainted with Sorrow: When Your Life Feels Like the Worst is Yet to Come

Acquainted with Sorrow: When Your Life Feels Like the Worst is Yet to Come is written for those who have lost their way or find themselves bogged down in life. It is for the person who feels hopeless, or at the very least feels as if they’re a bit off course. It’s for those who’ve lost their footing and find themselves slipping towards the cliff. The dog-tired – dispirited ones. It’s written for people who cannot see anything good in their present circumstances or, at the very least, those for whom the big picture is beginning to blur - colours fading and faith waning.

This book contains a collection of amazing personal stories that take you behind the scenes of the complex life of Terry Posthumus -revealing his secret to hope in some of his life’s darkest and most painful tragic moments. From growing up as a fatherless child to grieving the loss of his own child, losing the “dream house on the hill,” or mourning the death of his wife – no matter the circumstance – Terry found hope through worship and gratitude. Through it all, he continued to place his confidence in God.

Acquainted with Sorrow shows how one man overcame life’s darkest moments and experienced hope despite loss and pain by clinging on to the safety line that hope in Jesus offers. And now his hope can be yours.
