This Did Not Surprise Me: Providing Foundations and Pathways for Hope for Families Going Through Gri

Grieving the loss of a beloved child, God is clearly with us as the countless examples in "This Did Not Surprise Me" illustrate. The Corban Clinic is proof positive God can turn a tragic trauma into a kingdom building treasure. Grieving is natural. Karolyn and Ted's story will bring you through healing tears to renewed hope, grieving resources, struggles of building a clinic and family dynamic issues to consider.

Personally, I felt the need to re-read sections of their gut-wrenching story as soon as I finished. First time through I was moved to empathic tears multiple times. The researched resource list is priceless. God's clear hand in all things Corban, complete with relevant Bible references, created a higher purpose to my reading. Most importantly, the dramatic effect of Corban's death on his siblings opened up conversations with my own sons surrounding the stillborn deaths of their four sisters. Karolyn's insightful words woke my wife and me to the reality that we were naïve to selfishly think that we were the only ones devastated.

May you feel God's presence as you flip the pages of this Holy Spirit inspired book.
