Every American
thirty years of age or older should be able to relate to Life After, as they recall life after 9/11/2001. Many younger
Americans may also be able to relate to life after a number of subsequent
national tragedies or life after any personal tragedy. Unfortunately, life
means sometimes searching for life after. Fortunately, we have a Lord and Savior
who weeps with us and who leads us forward.
One year later,
Autumn Manning, the sole survivor of a train bombing that took the lives of
twenty-two others in Chicago, has become obsessed with the lives of those left behind
as well as the lives cut short. Her family is concerned that she may never find
her way out of all that plagues her, but they cannot understand the guilt that
is mounting in Autumn’s core. While her family tries their own intervention,
they could never imagine the form in which help would arrive.
Kate Ganshert
tackles the difficult themes of evil that brings pain and loss to people who
have done nothing to bring them upon themselves and coping with false,
undeserved guilt. She does so with understanding, compassion, and by helping
readers gain a more accurate view of God and a more accurate view of
themselves.
Thank you,
Waterbrook and NetGalley for providing me a copy of Life
After in exchange for my honest opinion, I highly recommend this book.
