Summary: I'll hold you in Heaven
Review: viewed my babies. I have lost 3 little ones. After my second loss in Jan. 2000 at 4 1/2 months gestation and all the questions my 3 boys were asking, I started wondering how God viewed my unborn babies. Jack Hayford answered several of these questions. I didn't take his word for it. I went to visit the scriptures that he spoke of. This book doesn't tell what Jack Hayford thinks but what the bible promises us. God promises us a perfect world when He comes. Jack Hayford helped me to find the scriptures that shows that God recognizes our babies to be just as important as we are. In Psalms it talks about how our days are written in God's book before we are even formed in our mothers womb. We are all important and He loves all of us whether we are born here on earth or we go straight to heaven. Thank you Jack Hayford for helping me to see that my babies are going to be there when I get there and I can't wait to meet them. It was very hard for me to swallow the way society sweeps miscarriage under the rug and dismisses it as not a lose. But my faith has told me it doesn't matter what society thinks, I am right with God and He is good. I am sorry for the pain that we must feel losing our babies. I wish you peace of mind.

Summary: What a source of comfort
Review: When I lost my precious Makayla Zayne after 33 hours here on earth, I wondered how I would ever be able to cope with her death. If there was ever a baby that was going to be loved it was her. I'll Hold you in heaven is a must for anyone who has lost a baby thru abortion, miscarrage or neonatal death. What an assurance that we can have the opportunity to hold our babies in heaven if that is what we choose.

Summary: Very disappointing, more of an overview on infant loss.
Review: When I saw this book I thought it would be very helpful for me. My daughter was stillborn and I have been struggling with many questions as to why she died. This book was more of an overview on miscarriage, stillbirth and especially abortion. Its main focus is abortion so if you have suffered the death of your baby through pregnancy loss or infant death you may find this book disturbing. The last chapter tells the reader how to start their own pregnancy crisis center! A subject that is definitely not recommended for the bereaved parent! I did not need to hear about women who killed their children! I wanted my child and do not appreciate being lumped together with murderers! I was frustrated with the author... he had some good points about why babies die and what happens afterwards that were comforting, yet he referred to the baby disrespectfully, ie. as a 'bag of bones'. HOW INAPPROPRIATE! The author tried to lump everything that he knew about pregnancy loss and abortion in this book, definitely not a good idea. The focus on abortion, its aftermath and healing is really NOT appropriate for parents grieving the loss of their child through ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth or SIDS. If you really want to read this book, avoid the chapters on abortion and realize that the author has never suffered the death of his child and therefore is not as sensitive as he ought to be. Better yet, talk to another parent whose baby has died, I doubt they would be this insensitive.
