 Great Book July 21, 2008

I really enjoyed this book; I thought it was a really quick read. I appreciated how much detail the family went into explaining the night of the accident, the days of the burial services, and also when they discovered Whitney was still alive. I believe this is a very touching story and people that need GOD in there life or don't have much faith in good should really read this story.
And if you are someone who gets offended when others talk about GOD and his power I believe maybe this book is not for you.

When I heard about the original accident, I thought, "Oh, how terrible, five people died and one was seriously injured" and promptly forgot about it. Cut to five weeks later when.........the injured woman woke up and we all discovered that the "wrong" woman was mourned and buried.
It's not the first time this has happened; a similar incident took place in Iowa in the early 1980s, and I've heard of this elsewhere as well.
These families have been through something only they can possibly understand.
As for the strong Christian message, they were students at a Christian college and both have parents in the ministry, so what did you expect? And even before I finished the copy I got from the library, I purchased this book and donated it to my own church's library.
 I don't usually read non-fiction books, but ... July 5, 2008

I enjoyed this book a lot. It's amazing and scarey that something like this mix-up could happen, but equally as amazing that the two families were able too accept and not blame others for it. I'm a Christian but I'd like to live my life closer to God the way these two families have. I'll be looking online to see what's happened to the two families since the book's publication.

Very heartfelt story. I bought three copies of this book after I read it because I wanted to share it with others. The amount of faith, love, happiness, sadness and mercy in this book should be a lesson to everyone. It certainly was to me.
