What he learned, to his surprise, is that in its particularity there is universality. Many who have lost children have written him.

For those who are tired of Hollywood's propaganda, and the church's silence. And for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, nuanced, grace-and-truth answers, rooted in the Scriptures.
