  “I will never forget meeting Pastor Levi over this past summer and hearing the
  incredible story of Lenya as we sat by the side of her grave. That experience,
  combined with this book, has impacted my life deeply, and I’m excited to share
  it with others.”

  “I’d give anything for Levi not to write this story. I’d rather he write a
  book about angels or Old Testament characters or the best way to pastor a
  church. If he wrote those books, that would mean he didn’t have to write this
  one. And that would mean that his precious Lenya would be alive on earth. But
  she is in heaven. And he has this story. And he has told it well. With candor.
  With honesty. With hope. Maybe you need to hear it. No one gets though life
  unscathed. If you find yourself in a sad season, this story is for you.”
