Reviews

You have written the most beautiful love story. It should be a "must read" for everyone that has suffered "tough times" and those that haven't! Your love for each other, family, and Christ shows on every page.

I could not put this book down, once I began reading it. Full of every emotion that comes to someone at this time. Yet, full of love, hope and faith. I am especially greatful for the bible passages that introduce each chapter. It's a reminder to all people, we are never alone in life, nor will we be in our everlasting one.

We truly do not understand the whys or wherefores, and we don't need to, but we do NEED faith and trust in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

You've done a great service in telling your faith journey and your book will be an inspiration to many disheartened people. I hope word of mouth will put your book in millions of homes it's truly a treasure of                                                                                         faith and love.                                                                                         Ruth Brown

I bought the book and have just finished reading it. I am impressed with the book and amazed by the story. Good job! The picture of life before and after the accident is powerful. Without faith there would be no story. Your book is excellent.

Becky's book is inspirational on a number of levels. She tells much of her story, as a spousal caregiver. This includes difficult aspects of the healing process and adapting to her different life. She tells how prayer helped. Not all of us will experience this kind of trauma in our marriage, but it is true that every marriage, every relationship, and every person has challenges. I encourage you to read Becky's book.

I found your book very inspirational. I am very impressed. You have a talent for writing. I found myself crying in parts and smiling in others. You are truly a role model for people living with life changing events.

My Dearest Sister in Christ,

Reading your book was an inspiration. I read it in a couple of hours. You are correct. Prayer is the answer and God knows and hears all. We may not understand here on the earth but Praise God, when we all get to the other side, not only will these types of things be revealed to us, but we'll be reunited with our loved ones. Life is precious. Your book will inspire many. I pray to not take marriage for granted or take each other for granted. Love like you'll never love again. Marriage needs lots of prayer and definitely God, without him we are nothing. God Bless you both for sharing this book with me.
