From the outside they seem perfect but reading this book lets me see even this family isnt perfect and yet they have trusted God with everything they have and come out on top. Such a warm loving tale of faith and looking to His will. Have tissues ready.
WOW! As a bereaved parent of an adopted child I found so much connection in the book, however I wish that my faith base is as strong and has always been as strong as this couple, I wouldn't mind their bank account either!!! It is a touching story of the families journey both before and after the accident showing that nothing comes of sitting back and being lazy. But it is important to know this is a VERY religous family both before and after the accident. I am a believer and a person of faith, but in comparision I do not look that way. It is truely inspiring, comforting and a magnificant journey for those who want to know that we do not struggle alone.
This is probably the best book I have ever read. My life was changed after reading this book. It is an honest look into life before and after tragedy and how even though we set goals and plans for our lives God's plan is ALWAYS best. It is a true story of heartbreak, love and healing, but, most importantly, of God's promise to always give us strength no matter life brings our way. It is Mary Beth's tremendous faith in God that still allows her to believe and say "God doesn't make mistakes." It is the same faith that allows Steven to realize that "Beauty will rise" (listen to that cd -- it is a must).
