Good book

My wife at the time, gave me this book to read when our children were young. I was unsettled by the realization that tragedy can strike a family in the blink of an eye. After reading this book I came to the realization that as parents we can do everything in our power to try and protect our children and it still may not be enough. The book reaffirmed the importance of faith and a belief that a force larger than ourselves rules the universe. The mother wrote about the comfort she received from her faith while trying to comprehend the loss of her son. She made it clear that she couldn't have gotten through this awful time if she didn't have her faith that God would provide comfort and take care of her family. It was encouraging that she could keep believing in the protection of God and seek His comfort. The strength she showed did not seem typical for a grieving mother and it can only be explained by the comfort provided by God. I would recommend this book to any Christian who is questioning their faith or questioning the power of God's ability to heal any wound and provide blessings in the midst of sorrow. As a father this was a beneficial but difficult book to read and I would tell any parent who has had a child pass away to proceed with caution. The accounts given by the mother has the potential to give much strength and encouragement or tear open wounds. It will be up to each individual reader to decide it they can handle the book or not.

A unique, touching book

This book is about a mother going through the greatest loss. Her young son was killed in a car accident. I have not read this book in years, but if I remember correctly the book has a heavy Christian emphasis. I remember that it generated a lot of emotions in me. I was crying one minute and laughing the next. Peggy Gregg opened up her heart and shares her most intimate feelings to help others. Thankfully I have never had such a terrible loss but her book is written in such a personal way that it provides the reader with a better understanding and more empathy for parents who have had a child die. Ironically, like another poster I was able to meet the author. Years ago, she was a speaker at a convention and I was very impressed with her. She was a humble, down-to-earth individual who made everyone feel right at home with her witty humor and tender heart. Her talk that day had a profound impact on me and I told other people about this extraordinary person I had met. A friend knew her and told me about her book. I had no idea that such a marvelous person had gone through so much pain. I read the book, but was unable to ever meet her again. I wish I could thank her for sharing her heart, her sorrow and her faith through her book. I am sure it has helped many and will continue to benefit future readers.If I remember correctly her husband, Leon contributed to her book. I don't remember much about his part but do remember that my overall impression of the book was very favorable. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand what it is like to have your faith tested to the core, has had a child die or knows someone who has suffered the death of their child. Although the book is often terribly sad, I finished it feel encouraged about God's faithfulness even during the hardest times in life.(... This book) is a blessing to those with wounded hearts and shows that there is hope even in life's darkest hours. (The author is) truly one in a million.

We'll Never Forget You, JJ

This book is emotionally gripping and leaves the reader to contemplate what is really important in life. The courage and fortitude of the mother, Peggy Gregg was particularily touching. The inspiration of a mother's love and her struggle to heal from the unthinkable, is both inspiring and heartbreaking. I had the privledge of meeting the author, Peggy Gregg and found her to be as remarkable in person as she is in her book. A definate must read for any mother who has lost a child.
