When Zac, Pat and Tammy McCloud’s son, collapsed on a high school football field, life took a sharp turn into uncharted territory. This book chronicles their journey and lessons learned, especially involving “ambiguous loss,” about living life with Zac who will never be the same young man he was before the injury.

I have known Pat and Tammy for years, having worked on the staff with Cru together. They are great leaders, people of depth who mentor college students and help young people find their life in God. They are the type of people I would love to have influence my kids.

In their book you get a glimpse of how they wrestled with the Lord through this horrible situation, how they loved Zac and their other children during this time, and how they dealt with marriage struggles. In short, you walk through life with them as they share with you the lessons God is teaching them.

You’ll find this book valuable if you’ve ever dealt with loss, and especially if you’re dealing with the long, lingering changes in life that don’t seem to have any sort of resolution. Pat and Tammy put words to what you may be feeling, and if you read their book I think you’ll get a picture of why I appreciate them, and look up to them so much.
