Blessings In The Mire, by Jan Deelstra

Candid Non-Fiction Account of Suffering and Healing

Blessings In The Mire by, Jan Deelstra, is an extremely candid true story that begins with the author re-living the highly personal event of losing her child to suicide. Due to the sorrowful subject matter, it is excruciatingly painfully to read the first few chapters, yet in voyeristic fashion, is harder still to put down.

Blessings In The Mire reportedly has an apparent healing effect on readers. It is a page turner built on quintessential hope. Author, Deelstra struggles to make sense of personally life-altering experiences while seeking, demanding really, to uncover the gift in even the most difficult lessons of life. She offers a unique perspective, and challenges readers to question beliefs while seeking their own truths as opposed to blindly following the mass opinion.

The author shares personal spiritual convictions, and inner journeys that resulted from investigating death and a possibility of after-life. She went to great lengths to test notions of angels, demons, psychic phenomenon, and mediums connections.

Starting as a self-proclaimed agnostic, Deelstra goes out on a limb to tell the details of her experiences. Reading her book, in many ways is akin to reading from the pages of a stranger's diary. It must have been brutal to tear off the layers and write with such candor in hopes that some one might benefit from her lessons.

Get this book. Give this book to all your friends. It's the one Oprah will soon be discussing! It is raw and compelling and thought provoking.
