The Tender Scar stems from the journaling I began shortly after the death of my first wife. Each of the twenty-five chapters covers a situation, an emotion, or a challenge I encountered during my journey through grief. I have been amazed at the way God has used this book to minister to many thousands of those who have lost loved ones. If you or someone you know is in this situation, I hope you’ll read The Tender Scar. The book is available wherever books are sold.
