I would strongly recommend reading this book. A tale of unforgettable tragedy helped me reconnect with the Lord. I stumbled across this book on accident, and this is one of the best mistakes I’ve came across. In my early teens I was very in touch with the lord and how to live a holy life dedicated to God. As I went through high school I lost my way and picked up bad habits of a typical high school teen. When I found this book I wasn’t excited to read it because I had stayed so far from the path of the Lord, I felt guilty of the poor relationship I had developed with him.
As I began read the tale of a horrific accident that claimed 5 lives I found connection with my God again. This book brought me back towards the path of riotousness. Now, how can this book about an awful mix up bring me closer to the Heavenly Father? Well, I saw how the families handled the situation and I reflected and thought about how I would handle a situation like this. I wouldn’t have faith in God; I would be angry and miserable, possibly even depressed. Reading about how the family put everything aside and prayed for a better day, for God to show them the good in all things, to recognize the bad things and understand that they have happened made me think about how bitter and negative I had become. As these two families asked for God to make them strong and help them understand that horrible things had happened to them, their faith stayed strong and helped them stay calm. The Van Ryn’s stayed in the hospital day after day with the blonde haired girl they called Laura, they wrote down bible verses that came to mind as they sat there and watched her slept, and the Cerak’s prepared for the funeral for a girl they called Whitney. The Cerak’s dedication to the lord was extremely predominated. They did not ask for materialistic items, besides for Whitney to come back, but they asked for strength to over come the time of sadness. When the discovery of the misidentification of the bodies came to be true the families did not become hateful of the police and other who identified the bodies, nor did they become resentful of God. These families only had questions and they wanted answers to them. The faith with in these families made me realize that I too can continue to have a close loving relationship with God even when things become difficult and I don’t know how to handle the situations.
