In it he meditates on the words of Luke 7:13: ‘And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, ‘Weep not.’ From this verse the author helps the reader to think about grief, distinguishing ‘moderate’ sorrow from ‘immoderate’. He spells out what is appropriate for a Christian mourner and what is not. This book is full of Scripture, counsel, warning, and wisdom gained from prayerful reflection on the personal experience of affliction in loss and grief.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA best-seller for more than 150 years in both Britain and America, this little book gave much comfort to generations of Christian parents who suffered the heart-breaking experience of the loss of children.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow republished as \u003cem\u003eFacing Grief: Counsel for Mourners\u003c\/em\u003e, this attractive new edition makes Flavel’s Token accessible once again in the form in which it knew such popularity – a small book, just the right size for carrying, and reading slowly, with meditation, reflection and prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Text Explained\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModerate and Immoderate Sorrow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSorrow Permitted to Christian Mourners\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhen Sorrow Becomes Sinful\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCounsel to Ungodly Mourners\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGodly Mourners Comforted\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePleas for Immoderate Grief Answered\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRules to Restrain Excessive Sorrow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I first became acquainted with this work when a couple in our congregation was called to go through the dark valley of losing their first child. Flavel's words helped them to trust God for good through the affliction and grief.
