Book Description
This book is about a mother's triumph over tragedy after suffering through the tragic loss of her oldest son in a fatal car crash at the careless hands of a drunk driver. She shares insight and Godly wisdom that she has learned to make it through her daily struggle of forgiveness, grief and heartache. This book is filled with the hope and expectancy that one day her family will be reunited in heaven where she is convinced her son is now. Through her story you will see how she faced the darkest pits of grief only to find the hope and courage to continue on her path to victory. "Don't leave weak" is a term her son used all throughout his life. His definition of the term simply put it meant "give it all you got, holding nothing back." That term took on a whole new meaning when she was forced to deal with the tragey of her beloved son's death. As she thought back on the phrase it brought her a word of encouragement from beyond the grave. She has learned daily not go through this life down and out sad, bitter, and broken but to live life to the fullest holding nothing back. Facing nourmorus battles on her journey back to joy she decided to take whatever this life throws at her and do the best she could to make the most of it. She held firm to her faith in God, trusting in Him without limits, believing that if ever you get knocked down you will have the strength to get back up with God's help. May you also learn through her experiences that your greatest trials can and will lead you to your biggest breakthroughs. This book isn't only a story about death, but about living an abundant life even when you are forced to go through unbearable devestation. The same basic principles this mother encountered can be applied to any loss, great or small. The author has chosen to allow her pain to be poured out into words and spilled upon the pages of this book in hopes of helping others who have suffered tragedy and may be trapped in a prison of hurt, unforgivness and sorrow. May you also find the strength and comfort from a God who is the ultimate Healer of the broken hearted and who loves you with an unconditional love that has not limits. May you also choose life over death each day and make a decision to live your life victoriously after loss and refuse to take up residence in a prison of pain. In doing so you will make it through life's race and cross the finish line knowing the Greater One lives in you and He is running along side of you to pick you up when you fall and to carry you when your strength is gone.

Book Description
But all the kids are wearing them! Any child who has ever craved something out of reach will relate to this warm, refreshingly realistic story. Features an audio read-along. "I have dreams about those shoes. Black high-tops. Two white stripes." All Jeremy wants is a pair of those shoes, the ones everyone at school seems to be wearing. But Jeremy’s grandma tells him they don’t have room for "want," just "need," and what Jeremy needs are new boots for winter. When Jeremy’s shoes fall apart at school, and the guidance counselor gives him a hand-me-down pair, the boy is more determined than ever to have those shoes, even a thrift-shop pair that are much too small. But sore feet aren’t much fun, and Jeremy comes to realize that the things he has -- warm boots, a loving grandma, and the chance to help a friend -- are worth more than the things he wants.
