Have you been through difficult times in your life? If so, you are not alone. Jesus says in John 16:33, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Notice that He doesn't say that we might have trouble or that if we have enough faith we will escape it. He clearly states that on this side of heaven we will walk through difficult times in our lives. And yet we have reason to hope. This book is my own personal journey to finding hope after a tragedy hit our family. However, I did not want this book to be my story alone. Instead, I want it to be a resource for you to find hope in the midst of your own difficulties. That is why I have added the sections that you will see through the book called, "From My Life to Yours," where I add journaling prompts and reflection questions for you to apply what you are learning to your life. I pray that God leads you to find His hope no matter what you are currently walking through."May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13… (more)

As Ms. Hitz shares her journey through the initial dark valleys of despair following her father's severe traumatic brain injury (the result of a physical assault) with us, we are so there with her and her family. She draws us immediately into her family circle and we are there with her dad as he slowly emerges from his coma and begins his tortuous journey back to physical and mental health. I particularly like her "From My Life to Yours" sections where she shares insights, suggests prayers and journaling prompts, and offers suggestions and questions for the reader to reflect on. The scattering of Bible verses and relevant lyrics throughout also help to set the mood and provide ongoing comfort and reassurance. This is a book of hope, trust, faith, forgiveness, and so much more! And I love her statement toward the end of her book, "I want to learn to dance in the rain" which is exactly what she has learned to do. Highly Recommended! ( )
