IAHPC BOOK REVIEW

MAGNIFYING YOUR DAYS
Inspirational Devotionals for Grieving

Bonnie Rinehart

Winepress Publishing, 2003
93pp
ISBN 1-57921-450-9
RRP $US11.99

Shirley died today. A senior nurse, much respected, but only 61. A long-serving member of the team on our Oncology/Palliative Care ward. Killed instantly on her way to work by someone trying to overtake a truck. We, who deal with life-threatening illness and death every day, collectively struggled with our grief. Perhaps a timely reminder of how great the needs of grieving relatives can be.

This little book is written to help bring comfort and peace to some of those who grieve. It was written by a nurse who lost both her mother and father to illness in the space of thirteen days. It comprises a mixture of poems, prose and Biblical quotations. Devoutly Christian, this book may not be for everyone, but it will certainly be helpful to some.
