Customer Reviews

Not By Accident extremely helpful "in case of accident"

Since I knew the author and the occasion which prompted the writing of this book, I have read it and re-read it over the years since she wrote it. When someone loses a child this book speaks lovingly and with great sensitivity to the pain of such loss. I recommend it for helpful perspective about the pain of loss, which is not entirely removed by knowing that God is truly in control at all times. As the author said, "His grace is sufficient, but it is not an anesthetic." She speaks powerfully about our God and her protrayal of her teenage son is tender and helpful for any parent.

The one to get!

If you or someone you know is dealing with the loss of a loved one, this short booklet is so helpful. The women who wrote it lost her sixteen year old son in a car wreck and knows about the pain of which she writes. I have had two friends who have losts sons to car accidents and both have said that of all the things people said and did and gave them to read to help comfort them, that this was the most comforting and helpful.
