My Thoughts: 

I surely feel I cannot do this book justice.... This is truly one of the most amazing, unnerving, awe struck books I have ever read! Sherri Burgess is hands down, a godly woman who met the Lord and I mean really met HIM, during, in my opinion, one of the most difficult, heart breaking times in her life. I simply cannot imagine losing my two year old in my own pool and moving on with life vs. going into a time in your life that questions God and wondering WHY did this happen to me???? Why did you take my baby Lord?? Why did you let him die in our own pool?? and on and on my questions would go...

But, I also know the Lord, and while we all think something like this couldn't happen to "me",  in reality, the truth is, it absolutely can. We, as believers, are not immune to situations such as these, and the Burgess family handled this in such a way that brings glory to our Lord, our Father.  The Lord provided such tangible ways in which it was nearly impossible to deny HIM.  Sherri's husband was exactly as the Lord would hope for him to be. He sought after a man who could be about His business!!

I, for one, look forward to meeting Bronner and letting him know how much his story blessed and encouraged me! 

I was so glad to read that Sherri didn't write this book in the first few months of her Loss of Bronner, but instead it took place over a 5 year period.  As I said before, I cannot even begin to imagine how to deal with the loss of your baby, a 2 year old sweet blonde haired, blue eyed precious little boy, Your baby boy. But immediately, God moved on the behalf of the Burgess family and NEVER let up.... I mean NEVER!!

Thank you  Litfuse for allowing me to read and review this book in exchange of my honest opinion! I give Bronner a 5 ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥'s
