It's hard to imagine how such a devastating story could be such a brilliant reminder of God's redemption, but I think that's because Isaac's life is so much more than a story. Isaac's 43 hours changed everyone who got to bear witness to his brief life, and Esther's testimony in this tender book stands as an Ebeneezer of God's faithfulness when all seems dark. My Song in the Night thrums with the heartbeat of the Heavenly Father who knit Isaac together in the secret place, numbered his days, and called him home so soon, to the glory of God. In these pages Esther introduces us to Isaac, and through Isaac, we see the confounding mercy and provision of God at work. Honest, heartbreakingly hopeful, and stirring, this book belongs in the hands of every parent.
