NEW YORK—September 11, 2018—Morgan James Faith’s new release, Walking at the Speed of Light: Reflections for Following Jesus in Grief and Joy by Cheryl J. Heser, looks at overcoming grief and depression through faith and positive action. The premise is founded on Heser’s personal journey of grief after losing her thirty-three-year-old son.
Cheryl Heser faced every parent’s nightmare. She lost her son Joshua in a tragic car accident. The weight of this loss seemed unbearable, but she sought comfort in her faith and found a new perspective upon seeing the impact her son’s organ donation had on the lives of countless others. Through her memoir in Walking at the Speed of Light, those facing difficult times find comfort amid their struggles and receive a renewed sense of purpose and joy in life.
Because he was an organ donor, Joshua’s death changed the lives of over one hundred people. The joy Cheryl Heser found in knowing that her son was able to positively impact so many, even in his death, led her to realize that forward thinking and positive action are two of the best responses to dealing with depression. Searching for such light in life and Christ as the Light of the World are the two sources of healing that Heser focuses on in Walking at the Speed of Light.
With short and easy to digest chapters, Walking at the Speed of Light can be used as a daily devotional or bursts of encouragement for quick reading. Using light and darkness as metaphors, Heser offers her reflections with beautiful, almost lyrical language the keeps readers engaged and uplifted. The central theme of Christ’s unconditional love and provision appeals to Christians of all denominations, and the practical life outlooks offer comfort even to those with no faith background. Ultimately, Walking at the Speed of Light encourages readers to step beyond coping and journey into true healing through faith and positive action.
