In burying two of her three children, Nancy Guthrie has endured the kind of loss most of us hope we never have to face. Yet her hope has not dimmed. Those who have watched Nancy and David Guthrie walk through the loss of two infant children, and the millions who have read their story worldwide in TIME Magazine and USA Today, have wondered at their ability to emerge from such sorrow with joy for life and passion for God. In reality, this deep place of pain caused Nancy to dig into the scriptures like she never had before, looking for answers to her questions and a deeper relationship to God.
She offered many of the lessons she learned from this sorrowful experience in her books, Holding On to Hope: A Pathway of Suffering to the Heart of God and The One Year Book of Hope which helped thousands of people pursue God in the midst of their suffering. A third book, Hoping for Something Better: Refusing to Settle for Life as Usual, provides readers and small groups with a 10-week journey through the book of Hebrews and includes study questions for a weekly discussion.
In addition to her international teaching ministry, Nancy has worked in the Christian publishing industry for over twenty years as a publicist and special project editor. She, her husband, David, and son, Matt, make their home in Nashville, Tennessee, where they attend Christ Presbyterian Church (Presbyterian Church in America).
