Through Max's eyes, we pray our readers realize they are not alone. They see how the tragedy changes his life, the gamut of his emothions run wild, and his constant questioning. Is he to blame? How much more could his mother or the doctors have done to help his dad? And where exactly is God in all this? His father's act shook the very core of his family's Christian faith, but Max learns how he can draw on God's strength and His Word to help him survive and find his way through darkness and despair back into God's light. We pray this same lesson also comes alive for our readers for there is no greater place to be than in the Father's arms.
