Book: Life, Love and Loss

What readers are saying:

"What a wonderful person you must be to have opened your life and heart to the world. Ted must have been something special. I know I will be a better partner to my spouse now. The main thing is I saw things I had not seen before. Just simple things of beauty and God's work. I have been a man of faith for many years and this only strengthened my relationship with God." -- Don

"What a precious body of work you have created! Your transparency and candor reached through the pages and truly touched me...The ability to share ideas and commune so intimately spiritually is a gift not many couples share...I loved how you shared how you disciplined your thoughts to cling to Christ in the toughest times. What an exhortation about how to respond to hard news and tragedy...I loved the overarching theme of abiding in Him. How everything we do in a day, every thought, every action, is in Him and how life is a continual surrender to His Lordship...The miracles you described were such a blessing to read...thank you for undertaking the labor of love in writing the book. It blessed me and I know it will bless many others -- especially those who also have suffered loss." -- Becca

"I have read many books in my lifetime, but few have touched me the way that Life, Love and Loss did. The messages and meaning I gleaned while traveling along Marilyn’s journey stuck with me long after the last page was turned. Absolutely everyone will enjoy reading her story, written in beautiful prose and easy-to-digest chapters, but those who will get the most from the book are those who take the time to think deeply about what she tells her readers and how it can apply to their own lives. Her words simultaneously inspired me to me ask myself some hard questions and taught me how to find beauty and peace in places I didn’t think to look. I’ve shared Marilyn’s book with two friends who are at different places in their lives, which just goes to show that the themes resonate with people no matter what season of life they are currently in. Thank you, Marilyn, for sharing your gift of language and inspiration with us!" -- Erin

"Sometimes life just seems to be filled with the mechanical functions of living, sprinkled with a few precious moments of joy. I was blessed to be brought into the adventure you shared and receive such a beautiful message of love, faithfulness, hope and endurance under the toughest of circumstance. The love you shared with your husband is rare, I don't know that I have ever heard of such an intimate spiritual closeness as you shared in the pages of your book. Your words are an inspiration to abide and walk more intimately with our Lord and Savior and bathe in the richness of His blessing. Thank you for putting your thoughts into words to share so that others would receive the message."
-- Laura

"This is a wonderful and inspiring story of the bond between husband and wife and the profound effect of God's love and power on their faith through both great and trying times. I like that it is set up as a 90-day devotional with things to think about each day (although I read the entire book in 3 days). I couldn't put it down; it kept me wanting to read more. Now I'm looking forward to your next book!" -- Linda
"I finished your book in 5 days and spent much of that time in tears! It was a good, interesting story. Your writing is beautiful and put beautiful pictures in my mind. Thanks for letting me read your words." -- Maggie

"Marilyn: This is a wonderful love story. It has meaning at so many levels that I had to read it slowly and reflect on each page as I went. Thank you for sharing it with us." -- Jim

"It's been a lovely experience for me to share this with you. I want you to know that reading your story and the Bible verses has been a real help to me. I have many health problems but I agree that a positive attitude and belief in God are an immeasurable support. Your words on perseverance especially hit home and have been so inspirational to me. I like that you've written it in an easy-to-read devotional format. Life, Love and Loss kept me riveted from start to finish." -- Ginny

"I loved this book! It shows how important it is to be equally yoked in your faith and the wonderful marriage relationship that can be created by this. A great love story; very well written. I like it as a daily devotional, but I read it in a week. It really kept my attention. I have to share this with family and friends." -- Tom

"Very well done! Sure is a beautiful love story. I had tears while reading -- sometimes from the loss, sometimes from the great memories." -- Vickie
