Free Stuff Fridays (Hope When It Hurts Gift Pack)

Free Stuff Fridays

This week’s Free Stuff Fridays is sponsored by The Good Book Company who also sponsored the blog this week on behalf of their new book Hope When It Hurts. There will be five winners this week and each will receive a Hope When It Hurts prize pack.

Hope When It Hurts

Hope When It Hurts – Hurt is real. But so is hope. Kristen and Sarah have walked through, and are walking in, difficult times. These thirty biblical reflections are honest about the hurts of life—yet overwhelmingly full of hope about the God who gives life. This book will gently encourage and greatly help any woman who is struggling with suffering—whether physical, emotional or psychological, and whether for a season or for longer. It is a book to buy for yourself, or to buy for a member of your church or friend. For anyone who is hurting, this book will give hope, not just for life beyond the suffering, but for life in the suffering.Each chapter contains a biblical reflection, with questions and prayers, and a space for journaling.

Hope When It Hurts Pen – This stylish, slim-line black ink pen matches the Hope When It Hurts Biblical reflections and cards. Why not use it as you journal or write someone an encouraging card.

Hope When It Hurts Note Cards – A pack of six beautiful cards to send someone encouragement from God’s word. There is a large space inside for you to write your own message and a verse printed at the bottom: “We look not to the things that are seen but to the thing that are unseen” (2 Corinthians 4 v 18).
