This book was written by a mother and daughter team and deals with answer some questions your kids might ask you. Some of the topics dealt with include death, Satan, divorce, natural disasters, fighting and killing and a few other topics. Each chapter describes what your child might ask and some possible explanations and real life situations that can apply. Each chapter gives you a breakdown of a suggest script for pre-school age, age 5 to 10 and age 11 and up.
While I didn't agree with everything that was suggested and said, a lot of what they do say are good suggestions of how you can deal with these questions and situations. They answer all these questions from a Godly and Biblical basis. It is refreshing to see when there are so many other books or suggestions out there that keep God out of answering some of these questions.
I don't have any kids, but wanted to get this book to see if it might be helpful to me as I work with kids on a regular basis at my church. This book might be helpful to parents who struggle with knowing how to answer some of their kids questions. While I fully understand the lack of time for parents to read, this book is short (under 200 pages) and a quick read.
I received this book free from Bethany House Publishers for the sole purpose of this review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expresses herein are my own.

Experiencing the Loss of a Family Member by H Norman Wright
Dr. Wright does a wonderful job at explaining what the world of grief can be like for some people. While I myself have not experienced a profound lost, I have many friends who have, and this opened up my eyes to understand what they are going through.
He was able to share personal experience when it came to talk about the loss of a spouse or the loss of a child. In each and every section when talking about the loss of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, friend or pet, he talks about how we are not alone and God is with you every step of the way. He walk talks about the pain people feel in the loss of a loved one who are often forgotten. The grandparents who loss a grandchild. The sibling who lost a brother or sister. The person who lost their best friend.
The last chapter, and through each chapter, he gives wonderful insights on how we can be there for someone who has lost a loved one.
Dr. Wright is a grief and trama therapist and knows what he is talking about. While reading through his book, I couldn't decide who I wanted to share this book with more, a friend who recently lost a child or someone I know who lost their spouse.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has lost a loved one or know someone who has lost a loved one.
