Customer Reviews

Wonderful.

My husband and I lost our son, our first and only, at 40 weeks to a cord accident. I stumbled upon this book and read it from cover to cover in one sitting. It was so similar to the journey we are currently on, sometimes I marvled atthe words on the page. THis was our story. There wasn't a page I read where the tears, understanding, love, and heartache ceases to flow. Thank you, Mr Fleming, for writing a book from a father's point of view. It helped me understand my husband's grief and gave me a new understanding of the path we are now on.

Wonderful book - highly recommend for anyone who has lost a child or knows someone who has

When I heard about this book, I knew I wanted to read it. It's been over a year since my niece was stillborn, and this book has made me laugh and cry. When I'm done, I'm sharing it with my sister. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has lost a child, or as a gift for anyone who has. It is an uplifting, realistic account.

A compelling journey of faith and fatherhood

Even as an avid reader, it has been a long time since I picked up a book that I simply couldn't put down until I finished it. Noah's Rainbow was one of these rare books. David Fleming writes with such raw honesty and emotion as to make his journey of faith and fatherhood captivating to any reader. This book is an amazing testimony of how one child's life changed a countless number of lives. The story of the Fleming family's journey through Noah's birth and death is told with skill and sincerity. The book is a remarkable portrait of hope that will resonate with every reader. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a story of how to find the rainbow through the rain.
