In the pages of The Widow's Song, a collection of devotionals, widows will find encouragement from the author's personal journey of grief and healing, the journeys of ten other widows, and stories of Biblical widows. Frances Rollins King Abrams challenges widows to find strength and healing in the God who sees and loves them. She encourages widows to allow Him to use their heartbreak as a vehicle for ministry. The Widow's Song includes lyrics from hymns, anthems, and poems to inspire widows that God can turn "their mourning into gladness" and give them "comfort and joy instead of sorrow," as He promised His people Israel in Isaiah 31:13 (NIV). Abrams hopes that widows who read The Widow's Song will discover God's tender, loving heart and share their discovery with others in various stages of their journeys. She trusts that God will use these devotionals to put a new song in every reader's heart.
