Hey gang! You've gotta read this book!!!!! I just finished the last page this morning with my Cheerios and coffee and let me just say that it is WONDERFUL!! Having lost not just one child, but three, and although I have done intense grief work (I call it "work" because there is nothing fun about it) and have come to places of deep healing, this book really punctuated things I've discovered myself and certainly put new ideas for consideration in my mind. If you are human and you've faced any sort of tragedy or ever questioned why God would allow pain in the world, then you would be mesmerized by this book as well. It seems to me to be a lighthearted look at what things may really be like--a delightful eye opener. Go get a copy! It will do its best to blow the doors off your God-in-a-box that you may or may not realize you have. Healing is a mighty powerful thing, and in this world we live in, who doesn't need a huge dose of that???
