Choosing to SEE by Mary Beth Chapman

A great autobiographical message of hope from the wife of one of the best loved Christian contemporary artists, Steven Curtis Chapman. Married young, they faced a variety of issues in their first years: financial, unexpected pregnancy, some in-law difficulties. Mary Beth realized early on that she was totally different from her husband--the laughing, friendly and creative entertainer. She, quiet and analytic with a plan for everything in her life --but it mostly never worked out the way she planned! Three biological kids, then 3 more adopted Chinese daughters later, they faced the hugest tragedy of their lives--the accidental death of their youngest, who had just turned five. Mary Beth outlines the chronic depression she faced throughout their marriage, then the deep grief. Her journal entries were raw with emotion and feeling, but she and her family clung to their hope in Christ and His goodness. A story of redemption and the hard journey that accompanies those who are sold out to God.
