First off let me praise the good Lord that Chantel is doing ok, and
know that I will be praying for all involved. I know of a wondeful
book,I read it myself and I promise if you can get past the title,
its what your looking for at least in some ways. It's called
Forgiving God by Carla Killough McClafferty. I found it through
Crossings Book Club. It has lots of scriptual references and is just
out and out a wonderfully touching and true to life book It takes
all the normal feelings that even the most devout christian faces
when dealing with the life of a child and gives them biblical
reference. My best to you for being with them during this time and
again you will all be in my prayers--- In
