review 1: Certainly anyone who has or knows someone who has ALS will want to read Ed Dobson's words of struggle and wisdom. Living over 11 years with a terminal disease does much to change a heart and perspective. Dobson doesn't mince the truth of the struggle of his battle and yet still finds joy and hope in the midst of a bleak situation. Heartfelt and often humorous memories flood the pages as Ed recounts his journey of life. His enduring faith partners with the doubts that anyone coping with ALS would have (or perhaps anyone living might have). I loved the readability of this book (finished it in a few day's time) but most of all I treasured its honesty. We don't always have all of the answers when it comes to life, death, faith, joy, and sorrow. Ed beckons you into his story an... mored somehow you can identify with the questions he raises and the hope he offers.
review 2: This is not a syrupy sweet book that says that everything is going to be okay and turn out fine, or that if you just have enough faith God will provide a miracle just like a genie granting wishes. No, this is a book written by a man with who is in the process of dying from ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) yet still has hope. His hope is not for a cure, but in life and in God's love and grace and provision in getting him through the disease and the depression, and the other life changes and circumstances that go with it. A great book for ANYONE dealing with life altering circumstances. less
