DANCE with Jesus
Susan has personally experienced one of the deepest forms of grief. Yet she writes this treasure of a book from her point of grace not grief. I plan to give this book to any of my friends that find themselves crying and needing someone who deeply understands.

Several years ago a warm guardian angel named Susan Mead entered my life. You see, as a female football player, I needed a sponsor, so she lovingly adopted me. With her bright eyes, warm embrace, and charming stories, Susan quickly became a delightful combination of sponsor, momma, and friend. Though it was years ago, I will never forget the day Susan looked at me with tears in her heavenly blue eyes and said, You wouldnt have liked me if youd met me a few years ago. Then I listened as she told me about losing Kyle, and how Jesus taught him how to dance. It both broke and warmed my heart to learn how she returned to living and loving after losing her son. I am thrilled that Susan Mead has captured these stories with her genuine warmth and passionate faith; in a way that they resonate to the core of ones being to lift the spirit as you read this book. Dance With Jesus: From Grief to Grace is a divine recipe to feed anyone hungering for hope. It is a beautiful story that shares tender morsels of goodness to help heal the soul one page at a time. I encourage you to take up this book, and remember how to dance.

As human beings, its difficult to understand why bad things happen to good people. As Susan shares their story, we are reminded that the Holy Spirit comes to comfort us, Abba Father longs to wrap His loving arms around us and Jesus Christ waits to dance if we only take His hands.

Thou hast turned for me
my mourning into dancing:
thou hast put off my sackcloth,
and girded me with gladness...

TABLE OF CONTENTS
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
Dance With Jesus: From Grief to Grace was written for a person experiencing grief. It is a quick read for the grief-stricken individual, as grief can shorten the attention span.
Grief touches us all, whether were a parent or grandparent who has lost a child/grandchild, a sibling who has lost a brother or sister, a son or daughter who has lost a parent, or anyone who has had to face loss due to terminal disease or tragic accident within their family or circle of friends. When the tragedy of death strikes, we need to KNOW that GOD is still alive and restoring His fragile, broken sons and daughters today.
In my darkest moment and deepest despair, I turned to the story of OTHERS who had walked a similar path.
And saw HOPE.
If they could, surely I could...
We are wired to seek Godthe One True Godand we want to know He is alive, moving, and making a difference in ourHis precious childrenslives. Yes, even today. He is with us, always and forevermore. When we seek Him, God reveals Himself to calm the raging storms of our lives.
