Having loved the book, Heaven is for Real, by the same authors, I
just knew I was going to love this devotional as well. It did not disappoint.
The book is divided into 42 devotions, each one starting with an excerpt from
Heaven is for Real. The topics cover grief & loss, parenting issues, and
other issues people come up against, such as financial problems. In each
section, the Burpos use illustrations from Heaven is for real to help the
believer come to terms with the problem being explored. I did like that more
information is given into situations that I read about in the first book, but it
is not at all necessary to have read Heaven is for Real in order to make good
use of this devotional.
With the climate of fear in the country (USA) today, with senseless
murders and outrageous acts committed against innocent people, especially
children, I think this book will certainly meet a need. In addition to fans of
the Burpos first book, I think parents of young children, or parents who have
lost a child, will find great comfort in this devotional. I'm sure, just as it
is with Heaven is for Real, that this book will be a mainstay in my gift-giving
for those who are grieving or dealing with tough circumstances in
parenting.
