5.0 out of 5 stars It's the way to heal a broken heart...., September 9, 1999

By A Customer

I picked up the book because my husband's father was dying, and I didn't know how to comfort him or his family. Up till that point in my life, I hadn't lost anyone close to me. Mr. Ziglar was so open with his grief and I found myself weeping at nearly every chapter! But in the end, just like Mr. Ziglar, I felt like I was basking in the most unbelievable love and grace...and peace. I purchase this book for everyone I know who has lost someone close. On final note, his description of Psalm 23 has changed me.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST SPIRITUAL CONTExT FOR A GRIEVING MOM, September 7, 1999

By A Customer

The very "meat" of this book was spiritually enriching for me, as my 9 year daughter was killed in an auto accident one year ago. Although I am a Christian--I had many questions and thoughts that this book addressed to ease my pain. Although it doesn't provide answers, per se, it does provide assurance that in heaven--our questions won't seem so important after all. I know where my sweetheart is, and I know I'll meet her there again someday.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reassuring walk for all people of faith, November 27, 1998

By A Customer

Just a week after returning to work after the sudden loss of my father found me face-to-face with this book. I have read and heard Mr. Zigler in the past and enjoyed his inclusion of faith in his work but was anxious to read how he and his family dealt with such a tragic loss. I read half of the book on an airplane later that day and was moved to tears several times. Mr. Zigler connected with those who have experienced a close loss as well as preparing those readers who have not yet experienced such a loss. That evening found me staying up much too late to finish the story. Mr. Zigler does a remarkable job comforting others through sharing his family's trials during the death of his daughter. A gripping highlight of the book was the journal kept by one of his son-in-laws at the hospital over the last week of his daughter's life. He is able to take you to the scene and reflect the many emotions a family experiences during such a time while giving access to what must be an extrordinary group of people.
