Take the Dimness of My Soul Away By using an easily accessibleAn authentic portrait of grief, as poetic and soul lifting as it is poignant. In 1994, William Ritters adult son committed suicide, sending Ritter and his family on a journey no family wants to take. Part of Ritter's own process of healing the loss of his son was to preach about it occasionally from the pulpit. This book is a collection of the sermons he preached, the first one just three weeks after his sons death, and the final one nine years later.
