Recensione

Their faith also gave them the strength to forgive the man who had killed their daughters something that would be beyond most of us, I suspect. But how much better than being eaten away by anger and bitterness for the rest of their lives. --John Humphrys, Author and BBC Television Broadcaster.

Way, way, way above all else I found this book a powerful, rich and deeply positive read. At points it even led me into worship. It is rich because of the revelation of the utter goodness of God that cries out on almost every page. It sings out with the presence of Jesus, his beauty and loveliness, and carries such a positive emphasis as a result. I am sure that people have written books before on things such as these; that have been grief poured out but lacking the sweet and profound message of the cross and of the love of God. --Judith Forster, River Church, Pioneer Network

I confess I opened the manuscript somewhat apprehensively, steeling myself for the ordeal of entering a world of private anguish. However I was surprised that I could not put it down. I loved the candid way in which Phil related his teenage wanderings, hitchhiking around France, and his subsequent conversion. His way of writing about his daughters deaths is similarly understated which somehow makes it more poignant. This book will be a help not only to those who have experienced the death of loved ones in road accidents, but for any who are grappling with the questions that inevitably arise because of traumatic situations. It will not necessarily answer all the questions: eg why our child? Why now? Why didn t God prevent it? But it communicates God s loving presence in the midst of it, his supernatural peace, and the slow process of healing. --Wendy Virgo, Newfrontiers UK.
