God`s care for the widow by Austin Walker

Encouragement and wisdom for those who grieve 

Throughout the Bible, God makes himself known as the one who defends,
comforts and provides for the widow. From the days of Moses and the
prophets, right up to the time of the Lord Jesus Christ and the early church,
widows were the special object of God’s fatherly care. In this sensitively
written book, Austin Walker looks at the accounts of women such as
Naomi, Ruth, the widows of Zarephath and Nain, the Jerusalem widows,
and Mary, the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, and applies the Bible’s
teaching by offering wise counsel, warm encouragement and practical
advice. In particular, he encourages us all to keep looking to Jesus, who
alone can truly sympathise with us in our sorrows and weaknesses.
“Here is considerable help and encouragement for widows, as well
as important insights for those who minister to them. May Austin
Walker’s much-needed and welcome application of the numerous
passages on widows have a wide circulation! ...”
