"I was profoundly moved and brought to tears many times while reading your book. It is the most beautiful and most wonderful book that I have ever read. Words alone can’t describe what it has meant to me.  It has a special place in my heart, and I will treasure it always. Thank you for letting me be one of the first to read it." - L.G.L.

"I had several good cries while reading your book…and it helped me. It’s very emotional. There were so many things that I had gone through myself. I couldn’t say it like you did. The poems were touching. I never liked poems until I lost my daughter. Now they mean more to me. I’m not a good reader, but I couldn’t put your book down. I sat up until midnight reading on it. The way you wrote it is special. No book has touched me so much." -  P.J.K.

"This book was meant to be…and you were meant to write it. God made you a bereaved father so you could reveal all of this to us. No one could have said everything that you said and with such emotions." -  V.J.

"I am so glad you did this. I know writing this book will help all of us in some way. You have given all of us a gift. Your son will never be forgotten by those who knew him, and now, due to your sharing, he will not be forgotten even by strangers. Bless you both for opening your hearts to us." -  M.H.

"I never understood what parents who have lost a child went through, until now. Your title for this book is profound, and your reflections on religious beliefs are marvelous." -  S.B.

"The author is an excellent writer and an excellent father. This book is truly a work of art. There is so much that I never knew about losing a child. It’s a powerful story, and I think it will have a powerful effect on others." -  M.H.

"The writer has the ability to move people deeply. I love the way he starts each chapter with Bible quotes, and the text is so lovely. There is so much to learn from this book and so much to ponder…and so much to cry about, too." -  B.J.S.

"Everywhere I look in this book and everything I read, my reaction is the same…wow!  You’ve put so much together so well. It’s powerful and engrossing. You give the reader a lot to think about.  I want to ask if it helped you to write this, and how you were changed by writing it." - P.K.

"I am a therapist, and I am recommending this book to some of my patients. The author connects with others in their darkest places." -  M.K.K.

"I was given many books after my husband was killed, but this book was the first one I was able to read. Intense grief can be solitary and isolating. After reading this book, I knew there were others who understood and had similar feelings to mine. The author shows that grief is universal, and he communicates in a vulnerable way. Also, as a therapist and chaplain, I believe this book can be helpful and comforting to many." K.W.M.
