Product Description:
Every parent who has lost a child has dealt with disturbing, haunting questions. Why my child? Where is my baby now? Will I ever see my child again?
Renowned Bible expositor John MacArthur tackles the question of infant death (in the womb or following birth) in his trademark style-with detailed attention to Scriptures that hold the answers. No death occurs apart from the purposes of God, MacArthur assures readers, just as no life occurs apart from the purposes of God.
With a pastor's heart, he leads readers to an understanding of the eternal destination of these precious little ones. His conclusion: Babies-and anyone else who has not reached the condition of accountability-go to heaven when they die, and there will, indeed, be a time of blessed reunion with these souls.
This comforting book is certain to bring consolation to those experiencing this most painful loss.

Rating: - Must Read after Losing a Child
This book presents truth about what happens to a baby/child when they die, miscarry, or are aborted. Having miscarried a baby recently, the book was a huge comfort and encouragement to me. To have my hope that my baby is in heaven turn to a confidence that my baby is in heaven is so comforting and encouraging. A must read!
Rating:  - Not So Fast
MacArthur raises a lot of decent points, especially as he speaks directly to the lost parent. But his conclusion on the destiny of infants is skewed, I believe. The book 'The Death and Salvation of Infants' is much more Biblical and recommended for anyone searching for the truth about this topic.
Rating: - Biblical Reasons for Hope After the Death of a Child
My wife and I rushed to the emergency room early last week for what the doctors are calling "threatened miscarriage." When I asked myself, "What would happen to our baby if he/she died," I couldn't give an answer from Scripture that I was convinced was God's position on the matter. As I asked myself the question, I had to honestly respond, "I don't know." My hope is that all would go to heaven, even though we're all fallen, but that means very little if that's not how God sees it. MacArthur writes ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent
This little book was a great comfort to me after the death of our unborn son. It is not a touchy-feely book but rather a real look at scripture which offers the only REAL hope and comfort. I am planning on buying this for any of my friends that go a loss in the future.
