About this ebook
I've told my kids for years that God doesn't make mistakes," writes Mary Beth Chapman, wife of Grammy award winning recording artist Steven Curtis Chapman. "Would I believe it now, when my whole world as I knew it came to an end?"
Covering her courtship and marriage to Steven Curtis Chapman, struggles for emotional balance, and living with grief, Mary Beth's story is our story--wondering where God is when the worst happens. In Choosing to SEE, she shows how she wrestles with God even as she has allowed him to write her story--both during times of happiness and those of tragedy. Readers will hear firsthand about the loss of her daughter, the struggle to heal, and the unexpected path God has placed her on. Even as difficult as life can be, Mary Beth Chapman Chooses to SEE. Includes a 16-page full color photo insert.

Mary Beth does a good job voicing her disappointment and hurt but still staying true to the faith. It's like the Book of Psalms - very upsetting but still quite refreshingly optimistic about the future. This book also paints a wonderful real-life picture of Steven Curtis Chapman and his family. I found it very honest. To read about their humble beginnings was beautiful. How the family dealt with pain will be a comfort to those who have been through similar situations - losing a child or having to deal with terrible guilt.
