TRACING THE RAINBOW
Walking through loss & bereavement
By Pablo Martinez and Ali Hull . Authentic. 71 pages
ISBN 1 85078 487 6

Having much appreciated Martinez's recent book on prayer and personality, I was excited to receive a review copy of his latest book on loss.

I was not disappointed. From the very first line, 'Grief is the other side of love', this compassionate, wise and practical book grips you with its pithy thought-provoking one-liners. The book is full of them: 'The human being is the only animal able to listen. The other animals are only able to hear'; 'Divorce is the end of a relationship and the beginning of a war'; 'One of the favourite strategies of the devil is to make church members become amateur judges'.
