ENUMCLAW, Wash., Aug. 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- In uncertain times such as Americans are facing, friends Wilson Adams and David Lanphear are unafraid. They've already journeyed through heartbreaking losses to find healing and hope at the end of the tunnel.

Adams, a minister, experienced divorce and fought for--and won--custody of his three young children. He experienced firsthand the struggles of single parents. Lanphear, an attorney, lost first his oldest son, Adam, who died in a car accident, and five years later his wife, who suffered a massive heart attack and died after a week in a coma.

The two teamed up to write about their experiences in their new book, "A Life Lost . . . and Found: A Journey of Hope and Healing Through Tragedy" (WinePress Publishing, 2009).

"We decided to write this book after we began to share our respective journeys through loss," says Lanphear. "The book is a journey of tears and smiles. It ends with a strong sense of hope, because God is always in control."

Adams and Lanphear took a hike together in Yellowstone National Park, where they each tackled a climb--higher than either anticipated--to the same vista but by different paths of ascent. The climb on the mountain became a metaphor for life challenges and for tragedy, the mountain of adversity, which the authors encourage readers to climb along with them.

Adams and Lanphear write with passion and compassion. As they tell their stories, they allow readers to feel their immense hurt and sorrow--and to witness and learn from their recovery and growth.

Adams currently lives in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with his wife, Julie, a registered nurse. They have raised four children and have two grandchildren.

Lanphear and his wife, Debbie, whom he married in 2005, live in Bowling Green, Kentucky. They enjoy being grandparents and counseling young couples about the marriage relationship.
