    About this ebook

    When Grace Hournbuckle Walker talked for the last time with her eight-year-old son, Nathan, he shared his joyful hope and anticipation of his future in heaven with Jesus. That unforgettable exchange inspired Grace to create poetry and letters capturing elements of that conversation and the foundation of trust in God shared by mother and son. Now I Can Think Myself to Mars: A Sons Final Goodbye, A Mothers Journal of Renewal collects those writings and bridges the decades between that conversation and the present moment.
