Landslide - by Jacke Rose (Paperback)

About the Book

A raw, faith-filled memoir of trauma, grief, and the God who enters the rubble to redeem, restore, and begin the divine dig out after unimaginable loss.

Book Synopsis

Landslide: A Journey Through Unthinkable Grief into Unshakable Grace is a powerful memoir of trauma, loss, and the relentless hope of God. When a series of emotional landslides-her mother's suicide attempt, cascading family crises, and her son's tragic death-shattered Jacke Rose's world, she was left buried beneath grief no parent should ever face. Through vivid storytelling and unwavering faith, Jacke recounts her descent into heartbreak and the divine interventions that carried her toward healing.

For readers walking through deep grief, trauma, or unanswered questions, this memoir offers a compassionate companion and a reminder that God steps into the rubble with us and rebuilds what feels beyond repair. Ideal for Christian readers, grief groups, counselors, and ministries.

Review Quotes

I knew Jacke Rose casually as a longtime member of Saddleback

Church, but after we both lost adult sons to suicide, she became a

dear friend-a sister in sorrow and in hope. Our losses were fairly

close together, so our journeys have often been parallel. This allows

us to offer comfort during especially painful moments, to make each

other laugh as some of the intensity has receded over the years, and

to cheer each other on as we both seek opportunities to minister the

hope that God can bring beauty from terrible ashes to other hurting

parents.

-Kay Warren, founder, Hope for Brighter Tomorrows

We have walked with God and Jacke through the pain and the

miraculous healing of this Landslide. We have seen God tangibly

lift up Jacke and her family again and again, bringing beauty out

of ashes, bringing healing out of unfathomable pain and loss and

trauma. Jacke has remained steadfast in seeking Jesus, on behalf

of herself and her family, to find the path out of the darkness

and into God's Light. Into His waymaking, good shepherding.

Into His protection and provision. Into His unceasing, unending,

unconditional cherishing love. God is mightily using Jacke and her

family's testimony and story to bring healing to every person He

touches through them. Thank you, Jacke, for the bravery it takes

to wake anew with Him each day. Thank you for your vulnerability

and humility and the courage it took to write this book. God will

mightily use your words, His words through you, to bless many with

profound healing and a deeper, intimate relationship with Him.

As a pastor, I am often the one who receives the call no one

ever wants to make-the call that a child has been lost. In those

moments, words feel hollow, and even shepherds can feel paralyzed

in the face of a grief so deep it defies explanation. The loss of a

child is not a wound that simply heals with time; it is a pain that

is carried for a lifetime. In the book Resurfacing, Jacke Rose writes

from that sacred and painful ground-not as an observer but as a

mother who has endured one of the most devastating losses I have

ever encountered. Yet her story does not end in despair. Through

honesty, faith, and perseverance, Jacke gently leads grieving mothers

toward a hope that is real and hard won. Scripture reminds us, "The

Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit"

(Psalm 34:18) and "We do not grieve as those who have no hope"

(1 Thessalonians 4:13). I wholeheartedly encourage every grieving

mother-whether your loss was this past year or thirty years ago-to

read Jacke's memoir. This book will not erase the pain, but it will

remind you that God has not abandoned you in it, and that hope,

though costly, is still possible.

In Him,
