Choosing to SEE

A Journey of Struggle and Hope

By: Mary Beth Chapman, Ellen Vaughn

Narrated by: Connie Wetzel

"I've told my kids for years that God doesn't make mistakes," writes Mary Beth Chapman, wife of Grammy award winning recording artist Steven Curtis Chapman. "Would I believe it now, when my whole world as I knew it came to an end?" Covering her courtship and marriage to Steven Curtis Chapman, struggles for emotional balance, and living with grief, Mary Beth's story is our story - wondering where God is when the worst happens. In Choosing to SEE, she shows how she wrestles with God even as she has allowed him to write her story - both during times of happiness and those of tragedy. Readers will hear firsthand about the loss of her daughter, the struggle to heal, and the unexpected path God has placed her on.

Wonderful story of hope

This book was a wonderful message of hope and resilience told from a mom's heart.

Great story. Didn't care for the narration.

Needs a different narrator.
The story is good, but the voice inflections were not right for a lot of it.

Already read it twice!

Awesome book - I've already listened to it twice! It's the type of book that no matter how many times you read it, you'll always pick up something new. It makes me sad that the Chapman's had to go this grief but happy in the fact that Mary Beth was able to write this book in order to help others.

such a beautifully sad story

we all grieve at some point. this is a beautiful Hopefully retelling of an unthinkable situation

Very emotional story

Excellent story with many ups and downs of life but the major difficulty of losing a child. There are several themes that run thru this book but the main one for me is that we are all flawed humans in need of a savior.
