The book, When You Lose Someone You Love, by Dr. Cromie has helped thousands of people go through their individual journeys when someone they are close to has died. This is an excerpt from the book: It happens soon or late: death intrudes on every life; the moment comes for everyone when you lose someone you love. As pastor I am often there, and several times I have been there myself. Sometimes it comes suddenly and without warning. Sometimes it comes after a long and lingering illness. Sometimes it comes in a peaceful parting of one who has lived a good long full life. At times it comes be self-inflicteded wounds. Sometimes its arrival is a mystery. But it comes to everyone, young and old and to all the in-betweens. These powerful words can now be heard as well as read. The voice on the CD is Rusty Steving.

Immediately after the loss of a child, numbed shock prevails. Merely trying to survive the emotional trauma of each day is all that grieving parents can do. Any attempt to reflect upon faith and hope during this time is simply too difficult.

With each new dawn, a little of Easter morning is waiting to come into our lives. Whether it peeks out of the deep cold of winter, flashes by in the changing colors of autumn, lazies around in the too-hot summer or sprouts forth in the bright, refreshing spring, we need to rise to greet it and to capture it.We need to be absorbed into the Resurrection moment, not only on Easter Sunday, but on all our days in all our decades on earth. I bring these “responses to the Resurrection” to you in hopes that wherever you are on the merry-go-round of human existence, you will feel lifted up and drawn to a broader vision of what it means to feel the surge of newness in this life and the next. The Resurrection (with a capital R) refers to the moment when Jesus the Christ was raised from the tomb.A resurrection can happen almost any time you need it. I hope this book will help to deepen your faith and allow you to borrow on the power and peace of the Resurrected Jesus with gusto and grace.

Sometime Before The Dawn: Responses to the Resurrection

Dr. Doak has been working out the ideas for this book, A Guidebook for a Pastor Search Committee over the course of three decades of ordained Presbyterian ministry. Before you read very far into A Guidebook for a Pastor Search Committee, you get the feeling the author has anticipated the necessary questions and that he knows whereof he speaks. Questions like, How do we get started? Are there rules we are supposed to follow? How long is this likely to take? are likely to emerge at the first meeting of the newly elected Pastor Nominating Committee. Meanwhile, the members of the congregation are generating some questions of their own. Dr. Doak has not only been on the receiving end of the process himself, but he has counseled numerous Pastoral Nominating Committees and colleagues involved in calling a new pastor. Dr. Doak has respect for that process, details of which vary from denomination to denomination. He affirms that those who are called to serve on a Pastor Search Committee, and he believes it is indeed a Call, will find themselves on a spiritual journey. At the same time, he acknowledges that it is a task and as such requires hard work, time, patience, and commitment. If there is one word that distinguishes A Guidebook for a Pastor Search Committee, it is practical. It systematically guides the reader from the agenda of the first meeting of the Search, right down to the choice of Pastor Wonderful. It will help committees to proceed confidently, avoiding some common pitfalls and doing the task in a manner worthy of the congregation that has entrusted them with this important responsibility. This book takes what can be an overwhelming task and breaks it into a step by step procedure, addressing matters in the order they are likely to come up in the process. While encouraging committees to develop their own style, the book also provides samples of letters, questions for interviews, ways to score candidates and many more practical matters. While written specifically for members of the Selection Committee, this book would be of interest to any member of the congregation who might wonder what the committee is doing and why it is taking so long. Having served on three such committees, I would heartily recommend this book to any Pastoral Search Committee (and congregation) who seeks not just to fill the empty pulpit but to find God s person to be their pastor.
