Because God made and saved us, we hope in what is true.

He promises that one day, what's broken, he'll make new.

I mean, he made us at creation, this Genesis, and he saved us, and that's the cross.

And one day he will make all things new, and that's Revelation.

I think that biblical theological framework is vitally important, because it situates us and our's Revelation. I think that biblical theological framework is vitally important because it

Alison Punzi is an author who is passionate about discipleship and theology. She became a widow in

2022 after her husband, Frank, who was also a pastor,

died suddenly of leukemia. And she now writes on lament, grief, and single motherhood.

Her new book is a picture book for kids called He Always He Always Heers, a story of loss and the

hope of things made new from Crossway.

Allison, thanks so much for joining me today on the Crossway podcast.

Thanks for having me.

So you've written this new book.

It's beautifully written, but it's also just incredibly practical and helpful for kids.

And I'm excited to talk about the book in a little bit.

But I think before we get into the book itself, it'd probably be helpful to know a little bit more about your own story, which really connects to the book in an important way and kind of serves as the foundation for why you wrote this book and how you approach the book itself.

So I wanted to start us off.

Can you tell us a little bit about your husband, Frank?

So I met my husband working at camp, and we were both Bible students at Cedarville University.

And we got married while we're still in college.
