“How to Survive the Death of a Loved One” by John Chris Brown is highly praised by Barbara Bamberger Scott of the US Review of Books, who underscores that “Brown is the pastor of a community church who frequently visits and prays with the sick and afflicted. Through his personal tragedies and strong Christian faith, he has the will and comprehension to advise others and does so here with a sincere purpose. Throughout this compassionate look at the grieving process, Brown asserts that faith in God will help His followers hold to a path to peace after the passing away of a close companion. His short but powerful treatise is frank regarding his feelings and inspirational as he provides copious relevant references from the Holy Bible to support his conviction that despite the earthly sorrows people must go through, and as heartrending as such events may be, there is hope for renewed contentment here and a blissful, eternal reward.”

Bishop John Chris Brown is a native of Amarillo, Texas, where for the past 15 years he has pastored a growing community church. He is the father of four children and seven grandchildren, and he is the founder and CEO of Brown Insurance Agency.

He is an active member of the community, and his commitment to the body of Christ is unparalleled. It is not uncommon for him to visit and pray for the sick and afflicted throughout the Amarillo area.

He sows seeds for God through ministry in the same way that a Sower sows seeds in nature. He has experienced immeasurable loss in his lifetime but has demonstrated unwavering faith and has devoted his life and service to the ministry. It is his strong faith and relationship with God that have seen him through the losses of three wives, his mother, his spiritual father and mother, and his uncle, all in the span of a few years.

He has been called a “modern-day Job.” He has remained faithful in trusting God and engaging in kingdom work. He is one who has mentored, advised, and prayed for others through their losses. Bishop Brown’s ultimate desire is to see the people of God fully embrace God’s love and walk in victory as they experience the fullness of God’s promises.
