inspirational read

A story of triumph over sadness. We all face sadness in our lives and many times do not know how to deal with it. The story of the Frick family offers much hope when confronted with adversity. It has been said that we do not choose WHAT we go through but we do choose HOW we go through it. "Of Moose and Miracles" is a beautifully written book illustrating one family's choice that led to many miracles. A MUST READ!!

This is one of the most amazing books I have ever read! I laughed and cried with the Frick family. Everyone, no matter your denomination or degree of faith, feels the true presence of God in their lives when they read this book. I can't wait to read it again!

A child shall lead.

Life has a randomness that contains both good and bad elements, and the story of the Frick family embodies both. The bad for this family is the tragedy that befalls their youngest son Kraig, a vibrant independent child, who finds himself afflicted with an inoperable brain stem tumor. The good is the strong belief the family has in their faith and how this helps them deal with this unthinkable event.The presence that Kraig has in his short life upon the people who come to know him is incredible. And, in his death, this presence is carried on through a Franciscan priest who gains courage and strength through Kraig to accomplish things beyond his own limits.This is a story of courage, joy and adherence to belief that will stir readers' emotions, and help them deal with their own obstacles in life. Steeped in religion, the story is told in a very comfortable manner by author Marion Lee. She has a way with words that allows readers to believe they are sitting across from Karyl Frick as she tells the story of her son.Lee brings to life the events surrounding this family in such a way that the reader lives along with the joys and sadness of this spectacular family.Let us hope that we don't have to wait another twelve years to be show another story from this excellent author.

An Example of Faith and Hope Out of Tears

This lovely little book is the source of much power, hope and strength as seen through one family's experience with the death of their beloved child. As the story evolves, we learn there are no coincidences in life. The reader is taken through a series of meetings and events in the lives of the Frick family and Fr. Jacques LaPointe, a Franciscan priest through which can be seen much love, faith and hope. Once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down and will want your family and friends to read it as well. Very inspiring!
