From the Publisher
Christine Caine, Founder, A21 and Propel Women
"This book is full of faith, beauty, hope and life as it helps children deal with grief and loss. I’m so grateful Lauren has written this."
Scott Sauls, Senior Pastor, Christ Presbyterian Church; author, Befriend
"In this world, there are way too many goodbyes. Our grief over sickness, sorrow, pain, and death is right, good... and, in Christ, temporary—because Christ has died, Christ has risen, and Christ will come again! These truths cannot be drilled into the human heart too early in life. That’s why I’m so grateful Lauren has written this lovely, hopeful, child-accessible representation of Jesus calling his friend Lazarus up from death. Parents, read this book to your kids over and over again... so that when it comes time for them (and you) to say goodbye, they (and you) will know it is only temporary."
Kristie Anyabwile, Author, Bible teacher, pastor's wife and mom of three
"As a parent, and as one who has had to say my share of goodbyes, I understand the difficulty of explaining death to children in a way that validates their sadness but also offers hope in the midst of their sorrow. This book is a beautifully helpful reminder that, even though it feels like it, death doesn’t have to be a forever goodbye, because Jesus came to end goodbyes."
Christy Nockels, Singer and songwriter; creator of The Glorious in the Mundane podcast
"I always enjoy Lauren’s wisdom and whimsy! Goodbye to Goodbyes is such a sweet story highlighting the merciful heart of Jesus and how his resurrection power brings us the promise that we will one day have no more tears, no more pain, and no more goodbyes!"
