This is a most unusual book, designed to help Christians who, like this reviewer, are struggling with the grief of bereavement.
Its American author is an online editor, writer, music critic and worship leader who has a passion for the writings of C.S. Lewis and the Irish rock band, U2. The book tells the story of the author’s journey from numb grief and faith-deadening bewilderment at the sudden death of his godly mother to a deeper relationship with the living God. It highlights the vital part played by the writings of Lewis and the music of U2.
