This book is about the spiritual journey of two people, a father and his son, who found purpose and meaning in their lives through their individual episodes of suffering, their struggle to forgive, and their faith in the power of prayer. As Joe journeys with his son Christopher during the final weeks of his short life, he acknowledges the profound spiritual learning that he experiences as he witnesses the courageous and truly Christian behavior of his son. The experience is so utterly powerful that Joe felt compelled to share it with other people who may also be struggling to understand suffering, forgiveness, and prayer.
