Room 6060: Of Death + Hope, Of Grief + Joy

$14.99

Room 6060 is a powerful, tender, tearful journey. In many ways, it’s an Easter story: a reflection of and only possible through that first Easter Story.

We will all walk the path that leads beyond the sojourn we know here. Through doors that may seem dark, this path leads to a new home, much better than the one we left. Jesus called it, “entering life.”

Room 6060 tells the story of Joyce Jefferson’s final days on this inevitable path, and of her entering that life her Savior promised. But this is more the story of Jon and his family, who knew Joyce as Nanny, and shared her final days here with her. It’s a story of hospitals, family, grief, waiting, crying, singing, and coming to terms with losing someone you love to eternity.

For those who share the promise of eternal life, the process of losing a loved one to that eternal life involves grief, the treasure of reliving precious memories, the heartache of goodbyes, and ultimately, the joy of knowing that a loved one is now in paradise, and that there will, one day, be a reunion.

Room 6060 also includes practical words of comfort and hope from mental health and ministry leaders for those of us who remain and must face our grief, our sorrow, or our doubt.

Room 6060 is a poetic and touching story that all of us, in some way, will experience. And it also a path for us to follow when that time comes.

“But in the middle of the night, in the darkest moments between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, faith and hope and love merge in the victory found in Jesus Christ. Besides the engaging and well written personal account, this book contains essays by people who have walked through the valley of the shadow of death. They speak to us from their pain and grief, and give us hope in the darkness that so unexpectedly can come upon us."

“There simply aren’t enough books written from the perspective of vulnerable, honest believers in Jesus around the topic of death, dying, loss and grieving. Of all the books on my shelf around this topic, Room 6060 is far and above the best of the best. But, like a good counselor, this book doesn’t stop with merely uncovering an allegory or rehearsing the problem, but speaks practical truth and potential next steps for those suffering loss.”

“Room 6060 is both captivating and comforting.  Raw and relatable.  Heart wrenching and hope giving.  Weaved throughout its pages are stories, scriptures and practical applications worth clinging to and, therefore, messages that should be found in the home of every believer and generously shared with all of our grieving loved ones.”

“Loss and grief have touched us all. Words fail when loss penetrates the heart and loved ones pass on, but Jon and his fellow authors have used words well to help us through the valley. Very comforting. Exceptionally relevant. Touches the emotions with peace. Jon’s words bring comfort: ‘. . . in bright hope we waltz, through horrid death, finding only gain . . . we waltz, to never die again.’”
