review 1: I also found this book by way of Anne Lamott. I think it was a short list of some of her favorites in a magazine I was reading. Far and away the most touching look at a relationship between a father and a son and a father and his unborn daughter. It reminded me of Death Be Not Proud in many ways, but Lischer's gift for describing his pain and grief were more relatable to me than the older classic. I highly recommend this one.
review 2: I loved this. Dr. Lischer was one of my seminary professors, and I have admired and respected him for a long time. This honest narrative of his son Adam's illness and death, and the grief wrapped up in the whole series of events, is wrenching and hopeful at the same time. Lischer takes us back to Adam's baptism as an infant a... morend forces us to consider what it really means to entrust our children to God. This could not have been an easy story to write, but I am grateful that he did. By sharing his own story, Dr. Lischer helps us put the major losses of our own lives into the context of faith and discipleship. less
