It is a truism about Christian experience that what we know through Bible reading and meditation only comes alive and part of us when it is proven in the harsh reality of painful testing.
Windows on Widowhood works out that principle in and through the bereavement of a young New Zealand wife with children still around her. Jocelyn Murray's husband left his job to begin full-time Bible teaching ministry, only to be told that very day he had leukaemia with but a month or two to live.
