This is the most honest description of the pain of a mother who has lost her son. I admired the author's courage to report on all the bumps and setbacks on her path back to God. Why was this journey so hard? I believe that every honest book says more than the words tell.

In "Dreaming Kevin," the involuntary message points to the gap between words about God and our readiness to accept His will. The book made me recognize that I carry the same gap and that our entire civilization suffers from this gap as well. With every passing year, our Christmas trees become shinier, words about God louder, but I am not so sure that our acceptance of God's will is growing as well! Kevin died to force his mother, the author Carla Blowey, to examine the obstacles in her soul that fenced her from God. She did, and she found them through her dream work.

Before I left the former Soviet Union 15 years ago, there was a rumor that in Moscow the demonstrations of mad mothers who had lost their sons in Afghan war were roaming through the city, surfacing here and there and making people uncomfortable. People felt guilt but could do nothing about it. Or so they believed.

Kevin who died at age 5 came to teach us a lesson that all we really could do was open up to God. Not in words but in our frozen, Spartan, desolated hearts that threaten to become peaces of marble, if we don't change!

Carla does an extraordinary job writing her feelings of grief and pain on the loss of a precious son in an unfortunate bicycle-truck accident. She specifically describes her dreams she experienced not only the night before the accident but also of many more afterwards . In addition to the dreams Carla experienced, she also discovered unique drawings that was made by Kevin just days before the accident . She also describes many ADC experiences proving that there is indeed, life after death. This book is a must read for bereaved parents, and not to be missed.

This Author is a very special, gifted writer who so lovingly conveys how our children parted before us assure us of their continued love and devotion to us. The creativity of using dreams to tell us they are okay is healing and comforting.
This book reinforces the wonder and promise of eternal life from our Creator. The spirit and our love is forever!

Since i lost my only child, my 18 year old son almost 3 years ago, consumed by grief I wanted to 'know' if there was a possibility of consciousness suviving death. A tragedy such as this catapults you into unknown territory, your whole world crumbles, you look for answers, you have a miriad of questions...Dreaming Kevin by Carla Blowey gradually takes you through a journey of indescribable pain, a mother's undying love for her child and the search for aswers. Culminating in the understanding that love transcends death and that her beloved son not only predicted his own death, but was desperately trying to reach his mother through nightly dreams to reassure her that he is not gone.

This book is incredible! The author shares the journey of a family who is struck with incredible grief and tragedy with the loss of their young son. Her heart wrenching story of how he was killed and how she dreamed that it would happen keeps you turning the pages to learn more. It was very enlightening to see how she journeyed through this grief with her dreams and the support of her family and friends. I would highly recommend it to anyone - especially to anyone who has lost someone and is still conncected through their dreams.
