Second Corinthians 4:17-18 states, "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen, are eternal." The title of this book, Lord, I'm Just Tryin' to Make It to the Other Side , should be on the minds of every believer. We must understand and believe that this world is not our home. We are on our way home. Where is home? Home is where God is. Home is where Jesus is. Home is where our deceased loved ones and friends are. Home is where peace is. Home is on the other side. This book speaks about that. One day, we are going to be on "that other side." The other side where there will be no more tears, no more pain, no more struggles, and no more goodbyes and farewells. That is what Lord, I'm Just Tryin' to Get to the Other Side talks about--walking through grief and loss (temporary) yet on our way home (eternal), where God and our deceased family members are.
