Losing someone we love can be the most difficult thing to go through in life.

All the explanations and comforting words in the world don't really help and everything can seem hopeless. But what might help us is to know, that in facing this kind of loss, Jesus wept.

Suffering the loss of someone we love can be the most difficult thing in life to deal with. One moment we have them and the next they're gone. What are we supposed to do? How are we supposed to feel? The truth is, there's no certain way we're 'supposed' to feel. Whatever we're feeling, it's okay. It's okay to feel shock, anger, denial, or whatever we may feel. It's okay. And if we don't feel anything at all, that's okay too. It's okay to have answers and no explanations. Because sometimes all the reasoning and comforting words in the world just aren't what we need. What might help us, however, is to understand how Jesus dealt with this kind of loss.

Nooma is a revolutionary product that is changing the way people experience spirituality - a series of short films on DVD with a 32-page discussion guide. It's not a book or a cassette tape. And it's not a CD or a two-hour movie. It's a new format called Nooma - short films, between 10 and 14 minutes long, about God and our lives. Noomas are appropriate for personal and small group settings, congregational meetings, and much more. Like parables, they use the experiences of our lives to teach about the fullness of life through Jesus, tackling issues like forgiveness, discipleship, and unconditional love. The study materials accompanying each Nooma encourage meaningful discussion with relevant questions and biblical references.
