The Loss of Faith: A Father's Journey - Hardcover

by Richard Gary Hallmark (Author)

The death of a child is devastating, as those parents who have experienced such a loss can attest. With dreams and hopes replaced with pain and anguish, and happiness vanquished by heartache, such a loss is the start of a journey no parent wants to make. In The Loss Of Faith, Richard Hallmark endures such a journey. A journey where his faith, trust, and belief in God are tested, challenged, and all but destroyed, almost from the moment of his child's death. A journey where he asks the unanswerable, seeks the unknowable, and wrestles with the unwinnable. A journey that begins the day his child died and continues until the day God restores him. Yet, in The Loss Of Faith is where Richard Hallmark comes to know that truly God loves him and has not abandoned him and that it is during the journey where God teaches, restoration occurs, lessons are learned, and changes are made. Richard Hallmark invites you to accompany him through The Loss of Faith as God leads you together. But this is not a pleasant nor a happy journey. It is a raw and brutal journey. One of thoughts, observations, and prayers to God that are personal, unrefined, and sometimes severe. A journey where nothing is held back and no apologies are made for not doing so as Richard searches for God.
