Review
STARRED REVIEW 'The close-knit family focuses here on lessons learned after the death of eight extended family members in less than two years, and, to that end, they share personal insights and scriptural examples of how to cling to hope in God in the midst of grief. [Dr. Tony] Evans's children celebrate their mother's legacy with fond recollections of family meals and celebrations, and explain that the book is the fulfillment of their mother's desire that they work together and combine the strengths of their individual ministries. Any Christian who has wrestled with loss will appreciate this message of hope.' -- Publishers Weekly
