by Julia Lawton (Author)
Julia's life was unexpectedly turned upside down. Nigel, her previously fit and healthy husband, was admitted to hospital feeling unwell and three days later had passed away. Julia and her three little boys were suddenly and without warning left with no husband and daddy. Shocked, heartbroken, angry, fearful and numb, the pain and the grief of her loss was unbearable. It felt like the end and that her life was over. However - it was just the end of the beginning. A new chapter of her life was about to be written.
Julia tells her story of loss, grief and of finding faith for herself. She shares with great honesty and transparency the challenges of the journey, facing the stages of grief, re-marrying and becoming the person that God had called her to be. Julia's story will bring comfort, hope and encouragement to all those who have found themselves feeling that their lives have ended following the loss of a loved one.
What people are saying...
Julia's story is raw, honest and beautiful. She has written more than an autobiography or a memoir; she has written a pilgrimage. Her words reveal her courage, brokenness and pain, but they also reveal a God who is gracious, compassionate and restorative. I was deeply moved as I read of her remarkable journey, and felt like I was walking on holy ground. This book is inspiring, but it is also challenging. It invites us to make our own holy expeditions into the land of hope and grace.
(Malcolm Duncan (FRSA), Pastor, author, theologian, broadcaster)
A deeply personal, yet powerfully encouraging, book on how to navigate tragedy well. In The End of the Beginning, Julia Lawton shares her story of being widowed with three small children. While she does not sidestep the deep pain of loss, the reader is continually brought back to the goodness, grace and power of a loving God to bring hope and healing out of heartache. Whatever grief you might be facing, allow Julia's story to take your hand and gently walk the journey with you out of darkness and into the light of a new tomorrow.
(Jen Baker, Author and speaker)
Julia's excellent book is the perfect companion for anyone who has experienced loss of any kind. We all go through tough valleys and need the wisdom, kindness and brutal honesty of somebody who has been there and lived to tell the tale. I can't recommend this hope-filled book enough. It moved and inspired me in equal measure.
(Cathy Madavan, Writer, speaker and broadcaster)
This excellent book is essential reading for anyone dealing with loss or bereavement. Written with honesty, transparency and vulnerability, readers may find themselves deeply moved, while at other times laughing out loud because of the warmth and humour of its style. We unreservedly recommend it.
(John and Marilyn Glass, Former General Superintendent, Elim Churches & Former National Leader of Aspire, Elim Churches women's ministry)
This is such an inspiring read! Julia's story, which she shares with such honesty and vulnerability, leads us on a journey towards hope and freedom. The End of the Beginning is a reminder to us all that it's not the end; it's just a bend. Dive into this book and be encouraged.
(Amy Summerfield CEO, Kyria Network, Head of development, Skylark International, Zeo Church)
Julia's courage and honesty shine through in this book about her journey through grief with Jesus. She tells her story with vulnerability and humility, allowing God's goodness to take centre stage in every chapter. Julia's story is testament to a God who is patient, kind and faithful, and who does more than we could ever ask or imagine. It's an encouragement that there is always hope, even in the darkest of times.
