Pages : 165
Book Description
Forever 13 is the true story of a married couple's ongoing journey of grief for their thirteen-year-old son as told through the eyes of the husband and father. Covering an eleven-year period of time from the moment of their son's death to the present, the author shares the emotional, physical, and social struggles they have encountered alongside their grief throughout the years since their son's passing. In sharing their grief, they reveal how it has affected them as individuals, as a couple, as parents, and the relationships with their family, friends, and with fellow grieving parents. As the passing of their son forces them to come to terms with their new normal, their lives continue to move forward as does their grief journey. Through the years, they are confronted with many of life's struggles and challenges, many of which allow them to find eventual acceptance in living with the never-ending emotions for the son they will always grieve for. By relying on each other, their family, friends, and most importantly, on their faith, they find comfort and peace by leaning heavily on the Lord and trusting in the plans and purpose he has set for them. Not lost on the author is the reality that many of the experiences shared in this story have also been experienced by other grieving parents. Though not intended to be a "How to get through grief story," if for no other reason, this story allows other grieving parents and those who love them to know that they are not alone.

Pages : 262
Book Description
Zach and Samantha Morgan are young urban professionals expecting their second child. But when their amniocentesis test reveals devastating news, they are thrown into complete turmoil. Sams doctor gives them less than twenty-four hours to choose whether or not to terminate the pregnancy. Then an accident renders Zach unconscious on the bathroom floor. This sends a signal to his Soul, Domini, to take him to the Swing Between Worlds, the dimension where Souls design their human incarnations. He undergoes eleven initiations to review his life and gain a broader perspective about himself and humankind. In the twelfth initiation, he meets the Soul of their unborn child. Zach thus earns the right to tour the City of Union, on New Earth, where he learns how our social and physical systems can change to reflect the expansive self-awareness of the people, transforming Earth to paradise. When he is finally returned to his body, he revisits the dilemma of what to do about his and Sams unborn childbut with a fresh perspective. In this novel, as a young couple faces a choice regarding their severely deformed fetus, one of them experiences a spiritual journey that changes his view of the world. The debut novel by architect-turned-author Moore is a mystic-inspirational piece laden with autobiographical detail in the same vein as works by Dan Millman and Richard Bach. a well-described memoir of pain and triumph in the Tobias Wolff mold even as it bounds ahead in the final chapters into a fantastically distant future utopian America on New Earth, where humans have finally embraced inner godliness (and really good architecture). Well-constructed entry in the New Age/inspirational genre. Kirkus Review
