Christian life & practice

A journey through grief that has brought comfort to others for almost half a century.

John R. Claypool had been a pastor for almost two decades, ministering to others who suffered through the loss of loved ones, when the loss came home in the death of his eight-year-old daughter, Laura Lue.

This is the story of Claypool's own journey through the darkness, written through four sermons. The first was delivered just eleven days after his daughter's diagnosis of leukemia, the second after her first major relapse nine months later, and the third weeks after her death. The final sermon-a reflection on the process of grieving-was preached three years later.

Reviews for Tracks of a Fellow Struggler: Living and Growing through Grief

Job, who also struggled with God and found him, emerged twice the person he had been. And so can we. Though our journey will be uniquely our own when the time comes, and come it will if we love at all, Claypool has left tracks. Furthermore, he has not erased those places where he faltered. They are honest tracks. -The Texas Churchman
