Between Heaven and the Real World: My Story by Ken Abraham, Steven Curtis Chapman
4.0
3.75 stars
I really enjoyed learning the story of Steven Curtis Chapman. I felt that choking sensation, of tears that won’t flow, multiple times in this book.
I can’t imagine living through the grief of a child dying. Only with hope in God can you recover from that.
So in that sense, I really enjoyed this book. But in another sense i strongly disliked it. Maybe it’s because this was my first exposure to “modern” Christianity, where everything is overly spiritual and a therapist can help everything. I don’t think sin or sanctification was ever mentioned (correct me if I’m wrong). But every time they were struggling it was “because the devil was attacking them.”
