Book Description

May 1, 2000
"He was. He existed. He was a very small person that touched our lives in a powerful way. [...] Losing Joe did not ultimately rip my life apart, but rather made me stronger, emotionally and spiritually."

Jan Wolfe Rosales lost her firstborn child when he was just four days old. Baby Joe died in his mother's arms in the backseat of an automobile on an Iowa turnpike, on their way home from the hospital where the best university doctors couldn't undo his fatal heart defect. Joe's young parents were devastated. Bereaved. And very angry with God.

This is a book about loss and repair. About finding a source of strength beyond imagination. It is an exceptionally powerful testimony of Faith, a tribute to a son who was given everything but length of days, and a testament to the Son who guided a young woman through her valley of the shadow of death: "Okay, God, I'm going to trust that you know what you're doing, and that you understand what this has done to me."

This review is from: Given In Love But Not Mine To Keep: Finding Strength In The Loss Of A Newborn Child (Paperback)
"Given in Love But Not Mine to Keep" is one of the most inspiring books I have read. The author writes in a wondrous way that puts the reader in her position to feel her pain and healing in the loss of her precious infant. Mrs. Rosales is a true testament of healing from God. Her faith in Him is astounding.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an outstanding and helpful book!, January 20, 2000
By 
This review is from: Given In Love But Not Mine To Keep: Finding Strength In The Loss Of A Newborn Child (Paperback)
In this book, Jan Rosales' honesty and true spirit are apparent. The reader struggles through the author's loss of her four and one-half day old son with her, but also gains strength from her wise words and insight as she explains how she dealt with daily life, thoughts, feelings, etc. after her son's death. This book is so easy to identify with and understand. It is a story of learning, and more importantly, a story of faith--faith in times of extreme pain, anguish, and sadness. Jan Rosales has been blessed with the gift of words--let these words help you as they did me. Don't miss this excellent book!

This review is from: Given In Love But Not Mine To Keep: Finding Strength In The Loss Of A Newborn Child (Paperback)
This was a beautifully written book that will completely touch your soul. I lost my firstborn son and this was a book I could defintely relate to! The author talks about her struggles with her faith in God and then shares how she surrendered all to the Lord and how her healing began. This is a definite must read for all those who have lost a baby. We all share the same heartache and this book speaks right to your soul.
