Everyone should read this book!
I am from Huntington, WV and I have met Dr. Smith, author of this book. It is a book for everyone, not just for those people who have lost a child. He assures parents who have lost a child that they will walk again, but always with a limp. If you have ever asked the question, "Why did God let this happen?", then read this book. A very spiritual book.....a true story written by a minister that all of a sudden found himself very angry with God....and how God gave him the strength to heal. But just as important, it is about the choices that a person must make in order to heal himself.

The Best Grief Book Ever! I Read it In Two Days!
Having lost our precious 18 yr old son Jacob who was a solid christian young man. And then to read this book I could have been reading about my own son! A Pastor writes this story and it is honest and so very accurate of the deep pain and anger at God that is so normal for any parent who suddenly loses a child. But to have a Pastor tell it makes it feel easier for me to say, " Yes, I am angry and I feel betrayed and where are you God? " God is a big God and can take our anger and can heal us and that is what this author reminds us, as he shares his vivid account of his own precious son.

Possibly the best grief book I have read in 2 years!
Since losing my daughter 2 years ago, I have read many,many books on the subject of grief. Dr. Smith's book is at the top of the list! He gave me the permission I needed to be angry at God..he let me know that that was okay, and that I was okay. He showed me in such a human way that he too felt as I did when he lost his son, and that the pain of losing a child never goes away, all we can do is hope to learn to live with it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost a child, and also to those close to someone who has suffered this tragedy in their lives.
