From the Back Cover:“Every now and then a book comes along that is not only great–it’s a gift. An extravagant gift. This is one of those books.”–Beth Moore

From the beginning, Mary Beth Chapman’s life was not how she planned. All she wanted was a calm, peaceful life of stability and control. Instead, God gave her an award-winning singer/songwriter husband, crazy schedules, and a houseful of creatively rambunctious children. Most difficult of all, God’s plans for her also included tragedy.

In Choosing to SEE, Mary Beth unveils her struggle to allow God to write the story of her life, both the happy chapters and the tragic ones. And as the story unfolds, she’s been forced to wrestle with some of life’s biggest questions: Where is God when things fall apart? Why does God allow terrible things to happen? How can I survive hard times?

No matter where you find yourself in your own life story, you will treasure the way Mary Beth shows that even in the hard times, there is hope if you choose to SEE.

“Mary Beth makes the deepest places of our being easier to embrace and grasp. I felt like I was looking at my own heart exposed on the pages of this book.”–Denise Jonas, mother of the Jonas Brothers

“Mary Beth has an important story to tell that starts long before the accident. It’s a story of heartache, betrayal, depression, and loss. Yet her encouragement to us is that there is hope–spring is coming.”–Mark (of Casting Crowns) and Melanie Hall
