Dinosaur Journal

making sense of a young son's death

Plot

Through poetry written during his nine-year-old son's illness and journal entries after his son's death, Mortimer plumbs the emotional and spiritual depths that are a key part of grief, yet are so rarely faced in most books available. Dinosaur Journal is one of the few books on grief by a father and can be a help to those in need because it is a testament to living in Christ in the face of all trials.-- "Modern psalms of love and faith. A true companion to those who sit on the mourning bench", -- Nicholas Wolterstorff, Noah Porter, Professor of Philosophical Theology, Yale
