Press release from: ABNewswire

As long as there’s pain and suffering in the world, there’s a need for us to tell our stories, and this is mine.

Kharis Publishing announces the release of Courage to Live by Julie Fillinger. How do you cope with unspeakable pain and suffering in the face of heartbreaking loss such as the loss of a child? The author of Courage to Live shares a deeply personal, heart-wrenching, and yet hopeful account about how to deal with grief and pain.
Julie Fillinger was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. She enjoyed college, started her nursing career, got married and had children. The unimaginable event that devastated her world occurred when her beloved son Nicholas died. By God's grace alone, she survived. Since then, her mission has been to minister and instill courage and hope into hurting people, helping them realize they are stronger than they ever thought possible.

Author Julie Fillinger says, "As long as there's pain and suffering in the world, there's a need for us to tell our stories, and this is mine." In Courage to Live Julie shares the raw, honest story of her survival after the death of her oldest son. She describes her grief journey during which she discovered joy and sorrow can coexist and God's grace is sufficient. She shares practical ways she managed her grief and discusses what others did and did not do to help during her journey. God's plan for living eternally is her "not so secret" secret for survival. Julie's wisdom and faith inspire courage and endurance through suffering, so you emerge stronger than you imagined, with lasting, sustaining Hope.

Jeff Crosby, the author of The Language of the Soul: Meeting God in the Longings of Our Hearts and a leader within evangelical publishing circles, shared that this book had an impact of his own life. "In his classic work The Screwtape Letters, C.S. Lewis said that "...courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point." In the pages of this beautifully written book saturated in a faith refined by fire, Julie Fillinger models what courage in the face of trauma looks like. You will discover where the roots of courage are planted, and you will see how one can maintain hope for the long haul of life, whatever twists and turns you may face. As you read her story, as you listen in on her process of grief and recovery, you will be accompanied by a wise, vulnerable and trustworthy guide. I was deeply impacted by this book, and believe you will be, as well."

On his part, Chris Fabry, an author and radio host, has this to say about Courage to Live : "It takes courage to be a participant rather than an observer of life. In this riveting account, Julie details her lowest valley through the shadows and the step-by-step process of embracing life while experiencing incredible pain and loss."

When asked about her impression of the new book, here is how PeggySue Wells, bestselling author of 40 books responded, "Losing a child is devastating and heartbreaking. The grief is so intense that no words describe the mourning that goes on and on without relief. Breathing is difficult and thinking is nearly impossible. For those whose child took an early journey home, author Julie Fillinger understands how it feels to say goodbye too soon. In Courage to Live , this mother recounts the loss that forever altered her life, her journey through grief to grace, and the life-giving hope found in Jesus Christ."

Maggie Wallem Rowe, author of This Life We Share, contends that although the topic Julie writes about is a painful one, she managed to infuse the narrative with faith and hopeful lessons for others. According to Rowe, "New authors are often encouraged to "write what you know." In Courage to Live , author Julie Fillinger writes candidly on a topic no parent wishes to experience - the loss of a child. With both tenderness and full transparency, Julie shares the story of the life and death of her teenage son, Nicholas, and the ways both painful and slow that she has learned to live with his loss. Though deep grief has been her uninvited companion on the journey, Julie invites others to walk with her through suffering as she offers faith-infused hope and practical help to others navigating this path."
