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.

Listen to an interview with Jen Green on her Faith and Life Today program on Life 107.1 from December 2018 here.  You can find a follow-up interview after the publishing of Cultivating Compassion – Practical Advice as You Walk a Friend through a Season of Loss here.

A recent Iowa Today segment from The CW – Channel 23 looked at how we can be a blessing to a friend during the holiday season.  Watch that here.

"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."

"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.'"

“'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!!!!"

"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."

"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!"

"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."
