Game Plan for Loss: An Average Joe’s Guide to Dealing with Grief

By Joe Gibbs

There is always a plan.

Joe Gibbs has dedicated his life to helping the “average Joe” apply Biblical principles to everyday situations, using the Bible as a game plan. But in 2019, when his son, J.D., lost his battle with a degenerative brain disease at the age of 49, Joe realized that while he did have a game plan for life, he did not have a game plan for dealing with loss.

Reeling, he set out to find answers to the 5 questions that plagued him throughout J.D.’s illness:

1. Why didn’t God show up?
2. Why does God allow suffering?
3. Why do some people suffer more than others?
4. Are we living a life of chance?
5. Do we really reap what we sow?

Written with the non-Christian in mind, Game Plan for Loss presents Coach Gibbs’ answers to these questions in plain, everyday language, proving once again that the Bible is in fact the ultimate game plan, and even though it may not always feel like it, God is there, He is listening, He does have a plan, and everything does work together for good for those who love and serve Him.
