My Review
"Dance with Jesus" by Susan B. Mead is a short read. I read it in about an hour. This book is a memoir about the author loss and how she dealt with her grief and how Jesus showed her that her son is "Dancing With Jesus".

This book wasn't really what I was excepting, but that is a good thing because I was expecting the tears to fall while reading this book and they didn't. It really showed that the author had cause for rejoicing because her family's members are now with Jesus dancing.

This book actually reinforces what I have been feeling since my mother's death in May of this year. My mom had her leg amputated in February of this year and she loved to dance, and so I have been telling myself and everyone that will listen that mom is now healed and "Dancing with Jesus".

There was one point that the tears might had came, but the author quickly turn the scene to the reunion with Jesus instead of staying with the sadness that came when her sister-in-law died. The sentence that was the hardest for me while reading this book goes something like this, not sure of the extract words but it was " Once when she say she was done with treatment, she was done with life" I thought "Just like mom" and felt the tears start to build up but then I remember that she is dancing with Jesus and I remember the song I picked out for the funeral, "Heaven is now my Home.

I really like that 10% of the profit from Dance With Jesus: From Grief to Grace will benefit Water for LIFE to help dig water wells in remote locations around the world. People Matter!

I was given a complimentary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinion are my own.

Guest Post from Susan B. Mead

Why did I write, “Dance With Jesus: From Grief to Grace?” Such a funny story how that happened. I was in the midst of a Bible study by Henry Blackaby called, “Experiencing God” and one night a question asked, “What does God want you to do right now? Right now?” I heard, sing my love song, and I laughed out loud and said, “Seriously, God, you’re going to have to send me a bucket because I can’t carry a tune, and you know that.” Then that gentle spirit inside whispered, what’s in your hand? There was a pen in my hand because I was writing in a workbook. I swept the workbook away, got a journal out, put pen to paper, and the story simply flowed onto paper. At 5:30 a.m., I put the pen down and thought well that took more than the two lines provided (in the workbook). The very first email I read later that day was from Proverbs 31 Ministries She Speaks, Speakers and Writers Conference. Writers conference, I thought? Seriously God, you want me to do something with this? Okay, and the story began. That’s how I wrote the book, “Dance With Jesus: From Grief to Grace.”

And to think from that humble beginning, Dance With Jesus won TWO 2016 Reader’s Choice Awards from Christian Literary Awards. I stand in awe of our mighty God. When we turn to Him, God holds us close as He comforts and heals us, His children, simply because He loves us.

Lysa TerKeurst, Proverbs 31 Ministries President and New York Times Bestselling Author, shared, “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.”

May I ask you to give Dance With Jesus: From Grief to Grace as a gift to any friend who has lost a loved one or to yourself, if you too have loved and lost.
