Emergence is defined as the process of coming into view or becoming exposed to something after it being concealed. It is also defined as the process of coming into being, or of becoming important or prominent after being in a place of obscurity.

Grief is an emotion that all seem to experience at some point in life. Rather rich or poor, great or seemingly insignificant, grief has a way of humbling us. No matter how strong, no matter how courageous, some way or another, when we are met with grief through death, we find ourselves searching for answers.

Glory is defined as high renown or honor experience through triumphs. It also is defined as the magnificence reflection of beauty of God’s image shone through us that impacts others. When we speak of the glory, we are not speaking of the glory as men. But the glory of God. In this book, I will also explore the biblical account of Esther and where our story collides. I believe in this book you’ll find my similarities with her in assuming my right place in the kingdom of God.

Therefore, Emergence: From Grief to Glory is the processing of our coming into view of the reality of God’s perfected purpose to use our grief for his Glory.

Author, LaQuinta L. Layton prays that as the listener goes through this book they will not only be invited to walk with her through “shadows of death” but they too will “emerge” with her on the side of victory our Heavenly Father has promised.
