When sorrow or grief comes to us or our loved ones, our souls reach out for comfort and assistance. At such times we seek meaningful explanations of life and its purposes. For They Shall Be Comforted brings messages of hope, comfort, and peace to those who have cause to mourn. It will bless them with a more peaceful, loving, and fulfilling life. These beautiful thoughts were given to us by many wise individuals—those of past generations as well as those of today. They bring us a sense of hope and peace, which increases our faith and trust in an ever-loving Father in Heaven and adds to our testimonies and understanding of the purposes of life, death, and the resurrection. The expressions collected and compiled into this exceptional volume make it a thoughtful gift or a priceless addition to anyone's library.
