Description:
Grief is a journey many of us take at one time or another. For the Chapman family their journey began with the accidental death of their 5 year old daughter, Maria Sue, whom they adopted from China. In Choosing to SEE, Mary Beth Chapman shares her struggles with the tragic loss of Maria Sue, her journey to heal, and the unexpected path God has placed her on. Even as difficult as life can be, Mary Beth and the Chapmans choose to see with faith and hope.
My Thoughts:
What an amazing and faith-filled story Mary Beth Chapman has to tell. I was crying and laughing along with her as she wrote of both the tragedies and triumphs her family has experienced. The Chapmans are a testimony to faith and the strength of admitting to brokeness while relying on God's strength to survive. I was especially touched by how they honored their son, Will, who was driving the car that struck Maria Sue, and spoke to his pain and how they have prayed for and loved on him. The book reminded me of the importance of our task as parents to bring our children to the feet of Jesus and teach them of our faith in a way that's authentic and real. A must-read!
