But If Not: The Compilation - Volumes 1-3

But If Not is a compilation of three volumes by grief counselors Joyce and Dennis Ashton, combining gospel doctrine with professional bereavement expertise. Drawing on the loss of two children and decades of counseling, the Ashtons address grief symptoms, spiritual injury, disability, mental and terminal illness, death, suicide, divorce, abuse, addiction, adoption, and more. Grounded in the scripture of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego—'but if not'—the book offers Latter-day Saints practical tools and spiritual comfort for enduring adversity when miracles don't come.

• Written by grief professionals who lost two of their own children—expertise forged in personal suffering
• Anchored in the powerful 'but if not' faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego
• A single reference covering every major loss: death, divorce, disability, addiction, abuse, suicide, and more
• Validates that faith and grief coexist—mourning is not a lack of faith

“We must choose between two B s and be “better, not bitter.””

Perfect for a Latter-day Saint grieving a death, illness, divorce, or other major loss—or a Church leader or member seeking to comfort someone who is suffering.
