In the following audiobook I will try to clarify some of the facts and bury the myths. It is my hope that listeners will find or learn something new from this audiobook.

Le llevaba una década, y, aunque era madura para su edad, debí mantener las distancias. O intentarlo, al menos.

Grief can be so debilitating that it blinds you to God's presence. Many who grieve struggle to face the sudden loss, much less embrace it and rest in it. In this remarkably honest book, Sharon Betters tells us the story of her teenage son's sudden death in a car accident. Excerpts from Sharon's journal express her raw grief, anger, and hunger to understand how God can be good and loving and still take away her youngest child. Sharon Betters draws listeners to a passage from Isaiah that carries God's promise to provide treasures for his people in the very midst of darkness and trouble.
