Writing this story has aided in that
healing process and renewing my hope for the day I will meet my
son. Grief is a real emotion that marks many families, and it is my
hope that this book will help to heal those that experience loss in
their family.
As a pastor for 15 years, Knight has been honored to walk many
people through life's toughest moments. He knows firsthand how the
grief children experience in the loss of someone they love is a
complex emotion to help a child navigate, as he witnessed walking
his own children through moments of loss and grief. Knight's book
is a creative and personal illustration of hope after loss, written
to bring comfort to children, aged 5 to 9 years old, and their
families. It shows how God's promises and presence have helped his
own family to heal and process the loss of their baby, Matthew, who
died before he was born. In Knight's fictional story, Matthew
introduces himself to his new classmates on his first day in
heaven. The author prays that God guides all readers through their
losses and that He uses this story to provide hope in restoring
what this broken world has stolen from each family.
"The inspiration for this book stems from the loss of my own
unborn son many years ago," said Knight. "Writing this story has
aided in that healing process and renewing my hope for the day I
will meet my son. Grief is a real emotion that marks many families,
and it is my hope that this book will help to heal those that
experience loss in their family."
