Volodymir Domaretskii Domaretskii itibaren Goughs Bay, Yeni Zelanda
I wanted to read this book for this 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. The value in this book really probably lies in the last 50 pages of this book, for me. The first part of the book is weak in that Lisa Beamer spends too much time giving her own personal history before she met Todd Beamer, one of the heroes from Flight 93 which crashed into the field in Shanksville, PA. on September 11, 2001. A great deal of detail of what happened during the hijacking is available in the book because of conversation which Todd Beamer carried on with an operator with United Airlines. For me, the power in the book is Lisa's message about how we really cannot control the events of our life very well. So, our comfort has to be in a realization that our Father in Heaven is in charge and knows the beginning from the end. It was a good book for me to read, but not at all what I was expecting.
