Pastors' Resources: Bring You Will Smile Again to Your Church/Group

Three women smiling and laughing outdoors, one holding an umbrella, dressed warmly in autumn clothing.

You Will Smile Again  was written to be walked through together. With its honest chapters, a 30-day devotional, and ready-made discussion questions, it’s a natural fit for women’s ministries, small groups, grief and recovery ministries, and whole-church reading campaigns.

Whether you need ten copies for a small group or hundreds for a congregation, we’d love to help, and bulk pricing makes it easy to put a copy in every hand. Download the free six-session leader's guide for small groups and care ministries.

Pastors: You Know the Moment

Someone sits across from you, heartbroken by loss or betrayal. You listen. You pray. And you wish you had something to send home with them.

You Will Smile Again was written for that person. It walks them step by step through naming their wound, facing the hard "why" questions and taking practical steps back to joy, and it ends with a 30-day devotional to carry them between your conversations.

For Your Office

Keep a few copies on your shelf. When someone is ready for a next step, they leave with more than a handshake, and your next conversation starts with what stood out to them.

For Your Small Groups

The free Leader's Guide gives you six ready-to-lead sessions of 60 to 75 minutes, with discussion questions, a weekly practice, a closing prayer and clear safety and referral steps. No counseling degree required.
