Hope in the Eleventh Hour: A Mother's Journey Through Grief with Eternal Eyes

When Sarah Berger's nineteen-year-old son went to heaven in an inexplicable single-car accident, Sarah found herself plunged into soul-searing grief--the kind that can ruin marriages and destroy faith. But that is not her story.

With an unrelenting grip on the Lord's hand, Sarah clung to the promise that God is close to the brokenhearted. Now, for the many others who grieve losing loved ones to accidents, illnesses, and even suicide, Sarah points them to the God of all comfort.

Hope in the Eleventh Hour helps readers:

• Understand what it means to grieve with hope.
• Realize their loved one in Christ is truly part of the great cloud of witnesses.
• Trust God with the hardest questions.
• Receive God's comfort through Scripture, dreams, nature, and divine encounters.
• Find joy in the present as they wait for the eternal.

This intimate yet practical book opens readers' hearts and minds to embrace God's promises in the midst of grief and brokenness.
