This was extremely difficult to listen to, downright horrible description of what a 7 year old experienced. it made me sick and frustrated. However, I knew that God would have the glory. If only more of us could have the faith of a child even thru adversity. Instead, people give up on God becuz they don't really know or understand Him. What a beautiful ending of a great book.
