Summary

Whether it's reflecting on the loss of a loved one, or trying to explain why there are so many deaths on the TV news, it’s essential that parents provide hope for their children by giving them the assurance of Heaven. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson speaks with Anne Graham Lotz about her children’s book, Heaven: God's Promise for Me. In her beautifully illustrated project, Anne reminds us that Heaven is for children also, and death is not something to fear when you have put your faith in Jesus. John 14:3 says, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
