Opis

Precious in Her Father's Eyes is an exceptional love story between a severely disabled baby and her family. Heartwarming and inspiring. Can you imagine your child born blue, unable to breathe or produce a heartbeat? Imagine being told by experts that the child you longed for will be permanently, severely brain damaged for life? Precious in Her Father's Eyes begins with a mother undergoing an extraordinary spiritual encounter. In the midst of her anguish, the words, "everything is going to be alright" inspire faith and emotional reassurance. These words give the mother endurance as she searches for the people and institutions that can heal her daughter. These same words take on an unexpected meaning on the day of her daughter's death. The search, carried out with stubborn persistence and sincere faith in God, leads the reader on a roller coaster of experiences; horrific, comedic, and heartwarming. Precious in Her Father's Eyes reveals how in the midst of a horrible situation, the best parts of our human selves can be drawn out--our intuition, our spiritual gifts, and our ability to sacrifice ourselves and surpass our limits. Precious in Her Father's Eyes enables us to share in the lives of real people who are willing to live by the convictions of their hearts and who joyfully affirm that every life is valuable. Most Helpful Customer Reviews (2000 Amazon Review) Difficult Subject, Wonderful Book By Susan Wilson on May 6, 2001 Amazon Verified Purchase As someone who has fostered a severely brain-damaged child, and who has spent a year working in a classroom for the severely and profoundly handicapped, I appreciated Cindy's candor as well as her viewpoint in writing about this sensitive subject. She consistently emphasizes what many people don't see about caring for these little angels -- that being required to give deeply of ourselves is a blessing. The book is written with tenderness and a mother's love, and also with humor and hope, and is a good read (though it's necessary to keep a box of tissues handy).
