I highly recommend this amazing account of an exceptional woman's journey to hell and back. I confess I cried often, but tears are the ointment of God's healing balm. This book is truly inspirational and a must read for those that have suffered loss, especially the loss of a child. Greatness and healing could come out of the ashes. The support of her family and Christian friends too gave her the glimpse that not all was lost. But Dana Goodman held on with her fingernails to hope.
A lot people would trash God and leave Him, bitter and tormented by the challenges given to them. She truly understands the agony of Calvary but above all has witnessed the Resurrection that comes after death. However, this hope did not just come to the author, she had to endure many years of excruciating pain and suffering. Just when I thought nothing could grow in the barren waste of broken dreams, seeds began to grow into beautiful plants of love and hope." "In the broken moments of our lives, seeds are planted in the very rich soil of God's kindness and when those seeds are showered with his love they bear much fruit and multiply.
But her amazing gift to keep going is echoed in this statement: Her struggles just seemed to bombard her, her heart being ripped apart through loss. It would have been human to have given up after all Dana Goodman has been through, but her strength is clearly grounded in the God of Love. The author needs to be congratulated on her courage to write this painful book as her journey in revealing her heart and pain has been relived in every letter that she has typed. This book deserves more than 5 stars as it is deeply embedded in the mystery of God's love.
