" Excellent read! I consider the Chapman family heroes of the faith. Why? They have faced adversity, pain and horror and had all the human emotions that would accompany those events, but in the end, they cling to Jesus. Wow. Mary Beth Chapman speaks clearly, she shares her struggles, her pain and her shortcomings (real and perceived) in a very real and honest way. In spite of THE terrible thing that happened, there is hope. There is good. Beauty can rise from the ashes. "

It was revealed to me what a lengthy process it is to get over a child's death and how there are good days an bad days, and having a strong foundation in the Lord is everything. "
