A Note from the author...

Dear Friend,
If you are looking for a brilliant literary masterpeice, this book is not for you.  What you will find in the pages of this book is a real, powerful, life-saving faith in a trustworthy God.  If your grief has brought you to a place where God seems small, apathetic, distant or even mean, this book will help you see a bigger picture and find faith in God again.  He is calling you to Himself.  Answer the call.

With prayers,
Patti
