I actually received this book as a gift a few years ago but knew I wouldn't be able to read it at the time I received it. My son was born with heart defect and was preparing for open heart surgery at the same time Paul Cardall was listed for a heart transplant. We read his blog as he was going through his journey and knew several of the kids who were going through the same thing. I'm glad I read it - I enjoyed it very much although it was hard going back to that time and remembering all those sweet kids that we prayed for - some who made it and some who didn't. I gave it 4 stars only because sometimes the blog entries didn't make the book cohesive - however the powerful message of the book is definitely 5 stars. I received this book as a gift last year. It was a great reminder of the gift of life and the journey and purpose we all have. One of the quotes I liked from the author. . ."What do people need? They need kindness. They need to know they are not alone. They need to know there are those who love them. They need to know in their hearts that our Heavenly Father, the Supreme Being, knows their names and that they can talk to Him in prayer by themselves in a quiet place. They need to know as I do, that He will listen." The book is also full of personal experiences and other uplifting quotes from church leaders and famous people.
I loved this book. Very inspirational. Reminds me to treasure the time I have with my family.
