I am also available to share this message on radio or TV programs or podcasts and would be happy to supply a list of interview questions ahead of time to help facilitate the process.

"An easy read but with potent impact! Well organized with the right touch of humor that helps to blunt the many raw, visceral emotions that the author shares about her grieving journey. This book really spoke to me in many ways about putting my faith and trust in God as he guides me through good times and bad, through my relationships and my times of grief ahead."

"As a vocational pastor I have found the insights in this book especially helpful. The author’s perspective following her own loss challenges me to be empathetic and sensitive to the process of grief."

"This is not a book to be read lightly. There are many entries, particularly from her blog, that you will want to read again and again. This book is not only meant for those experiencing grief but also those who want to empathize with a griever in their lives. Here you will experience the author’s honest, bone-crushing pain and yet, hope and trust and finally peace."

"This book is a Godsend and a treasure! The author has delivered on her promise to share truths that she has 'come to embrace' along her journey with grief, with the hope that others will have a clear grasp of God who not only loves us but walks with us each day."

"For every gut-wrenching moment she shares, hope wins over again and again as she goes down that path (including bits of humor trying to flip a mattress on her own). I walked away from the book feeling strongly encouraged and more prepared in my Christian walk going forward for what life can, and will, throw at me as I go down that road."

“'The Honest Griever' is a phenomenal book!!!!! As a therapist, I was looking for a book on grief that I could refer to my clients and friends. Let’s just say this....I don’t have to look any further… This book is a tearjerker for sure but well worth the read. May the author continue to find comfort in her Lord And Savior, Jesus Christ. BRAVO!!!!"

"Being an ‘honest’ griever is harder than you would think. Hoeksema is truly transparent as she shares her journey, even the thoughts that we all think but are too afraid to voice. But how important it is to be honest in order to rightly process the journeys we are on!"

"Her style of writing is conversational and easy to relate to. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is grieving, but really, all of us should read this book because we will all experience loss at some point on this journey of life."

"Lynne is a great writer and she writes in an interesting and transparent way, giving us illustrations and examples from her life. She truly grieves, but it is not a hopeless grief. She shows how God gives comfort in the tough times. I like her statement, 'He won't let your fire consume you, but he will let it refine you.'"
