I really enjoy the message in this book. You will always be remembered. Originally, I figured this would have something to do with death based on the title and the way, the story flows because it keeps asking do you remember. What it is actually saying that you’re going to make a ton of memories and as you get older, you will forget some of these things, but you’ll remember the feeling in your heart and your parents or those who raised you will remember it as well and it’s that feeling that matters. Overall, a great and unique message and this book works.… (more)

I really love a good ghost story and this one had a catchy title that caught my attention...so it got to go home with me.

While I finished the book, I cannot recommend it. It was ok, not great, not good.

The author purchased his parents house. Living with his wife and son, he experiences noises, strange sensations and images. The book started out ok, but then spiraled into babble.

Interesting, sometimes creepy account of Jansen's struggle to understand the paranormal phenomena in his home. It was not too over-the-top (don't expect the Amityville Horror), and there was a little too much theology for my taste. A decent read if you're into the paranormal.
