For almost two decades as a pastor,

John Claypool participated in the drama

of suffering and death--but it was

always happening to someone else.

Then his own eight-year-old daughter,

Laura Lue, was diagnosed as having

acute leukemia.

She lived only eighteen months and ten

days after that first shocking news was

given to her parents.

What is it like to go through such a

profound experience of grief? Does

your Christian faith make any real

difference? What actually helps?

Out of the intensity of his personal

struggle, John Claypool shares his own

deepest feelings. The pain of talking

about his " encounter with darkness"

has been great, of course. But it is

secondary to the sense of obligation he

feels to interpret for fellow members of

Christ s Body--the Church--what God

seemed to be saying to him in the tragic

moments of his daughter s illness.
