I have been a fan of Steven Curtis Chapman and his music for many years. On May 21, 2008 their daughter Maria was killed in a tragic auto accident. In this book, Maria's mother writes about the very personal journey of grief she is traveling.
This is a very touching book. It is not just about the loss of their sweet Maria though; it is also about the choice we have to see God all through life and how our plans are not always the same as what He has for us.
I have seen various people in my life deal with grief and loss. Some use their loss to point others to Christ; others are just use their hurt to hurt other people. Mary Beth Chapman does a remarkable job in this book sharing how she and her family are trying to do the best they can to point others to Jesus as they travel this hard path He has made for their family.
Have a day of blessings!

This was an incredible story...I felt as if they were my friends by the time it was over. What Honor and Glory they bring to the Lord despite the pain and grief they have experienced! Truly, a testament to the Power of Christ!
Love and Hugs!
I think this is a book I would like to read. My friends from church heard her testimony at a recent women's conference and were very blessed.
