Book Review – In Faithfulness, He Afflicted Me

In Faithfulness, He Afflicted Me (Paperback)

By Lynette Kraft

I just finished reading “In Faithfulness, He Afflicted Me” by Lynette Kraft. (Paperback, published by Tate Publishing, 2008) A book suited for parents, especially those who are grieving the loss of a child, but will also appeal to those caring for children and adults with special needs.

In her book Lynette reaches out to the reader, baring her emotions surrounding the death of her daughter Anna. While grief plays a part in the book, a wonderful picture of God’s love and care for his children also shines through the pages.

Reading through the book I found there were many scenes in which I could relate to the author. In one such chapter Lynette speaks of how she needed to stay home from church each week to care for Anna. While this is a difficult trial for families who care for medically fragile children, she relates to the reader how God supported her and her family at that time.

This journey through Lynette’s life reveals joy in sorrow. Her courage in the midst of pain brings us back to the source of our strength found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

This book is easy to read and well worth the $15.00 retail fee.

To learn more about this book, or purchase a copy, you can find it on Lynette’s blog.

Lynette, thanks for sharing such a powerful story with us!

Thanks for listening ~
