My seventeen-year-old daughter, Sarah, was killed while on a church mission trip. Through the pages of Sifted, you are invited to intimately journey alongside me as I wrestle through the excruciating questions, experiences, and emotions that accompany the death of a child.

With raw honesty, explore the depths of the valley of the shadow of death to reconcile shattering loss with faith in Jesus Christ. Witness the unexpectedly sweet mingling of sorrow with hope and peace. And discover, deep in the shadowed valley, a costly joy rendered by sorrow so pure and precious that it is “inexpressible and full of glory.”
