High and Wide: When Grief and Love Collide

High and Wide is the intimate story of grief and healing, leading up to and proceeding the earthly farewell of Nadine’s husband Michael. Nadine shares the wonder of prayer and the reservoir of comfort she experiences during the ongoing grieving process, while embracing God’s continual plan for her life—which, to her surprise, included opening her heart and allowing the love of another man inside. For Nadine, the journey of grief and love is a never-ending and ever-expanding one.

As a woman who has lost a husband and a son, I can honestly say, Nadine’s story gives hope that treasures truly can be found even on the darkest of days. "

Every once in a while you read a book that you carry around in your purse, so every free moment (at the dentist, in the car waiting for the kids or on a coffee break) you can dig it out and get drawn into it's pages...this is that book. This book highlights a remarkable love between two people and their incredible journey. While enjoying that, it also helps us to see our lives with clarity and shows us that we all have room for more gratitude despite our circumstances."

Most of us are in pursuit of the ‘abundant life’. Nadine & Mike found it in the most unthinkable circumstance. Their story is real life: welcoming, gripping, inspiring, challenging! By inviting us into the living room of their lives, we laugh and cry with them, as they gently teach us that everything we experience is a possibility toward the ‘abundant life’ that Jesus invites us to. No matter what you are experiencing today, spending some time reading Hold On, Let Go will only enhance your journey."
