A Father's Love

A Father's Love is a heart-wrenching story of the death of Eric, a special twenty-nine-year-old son. It describes the loving relationship between Eric and his father. The bonding and mutual esteem is unfolded. They shared life's dreams and hopes including joint ownership of a successful business. Nothing could have prepared the father for the awesome event of his son's accidental death. The father had already lost both of his parents, three brothers, and a sister in law, all of whom were dear to him. However, the magnitude of Eric's death was beyond compare. In his search for answers and solace, the father turned to God seeking mercy and peace in this most crushing time. Through 'Journaling' prayer, he sought answers from God about why He would do such a thing before Eric had developed a relationship with his God. The answers in his journalings form the basis of a new and enlightened outlook on life. There is life after life, and God is a God of Mercy. The father relates the many signs and ways that God has shown him that Eric's life was not in vain; and that Eric lives. The signs and wonders are so profound that there is no doubt about the message. The book has a message for those who grieve over their fallen children. Their pain is so very deep and so intense that no one can comprehend that pain unless they have walked a similar walk. The book attempts to guide them on a path to wholeness again. It also speaks in an enlightened way to friends of those who grieve. The book weaves together the family, which includes Eric's wife, their two young daughters, his Mom, his brother, and his two sisters. But above all, it is a love story about a son and his father. Through it all, the father gains a new perspective about the relationship between God, the Father and His Son, Jesus. It is an interesting blend of the human and the spiritual.
