Grace Hournbuckle Walker's book, "Now I Can Think Myself to Mars: Second Edition", is a testament to the power of the human spirit and the healing process. With a background in nursing and ministry, Walker has crafted a book that is both deeply touching and profoundly insightful.

Walker's writing style is a unique blend of poetry and prose, making her words come alive on the page. Her ability to transform "black scratch marks into virtual arrows that will pierce your heart" as C.C. Thomas from Pacific Book Review puts it, is truly remarkable. Her words are not just meant to be read, but to be felt and experienced.

The book is based on the last conversation Walker had with her eight-year-old son, Nathan, who expressed his joyful anticipation of heaven. This unforgettable exchange led Walker to create a collection of poetry and letters that capture elements of that conversation and the foundation of trust in God shared by mother and son.

What sets this book apart is its ability to bridge the gap between the past and the present, using observations from life to provide a deeper understanding of loss and healing. It's not just a book about grief, but a guidebook for those experiencing loss, providing new paths to process their experience.

As Barbara Bamberger Scott from the US Review of Books noted, Walker copes with life's pains by ascribing deeper meaning, offering poignant insights for people experiencing loss. This is what makes this book unique and a must-read.

The benefits of reading this book are manifold. Not only does it provide a unique perspective on grief and healing, but it also offers a sense of peace that flows through Walker's words. By sharing her personal journey, Walker allows readers to reflect on their own experiences and find comfort in knowing that they are not alone.

Moreover, reading this book enriches the soul, as it offers a deeper understanding of life, loss, and the healing process. It's a book that encourages readers to reflect, to feel, and to heal.

In conclusion, "Now I Can Think Myself to Mars: Second Edition" by Grace Hournbuckle Walker is a beautifully written and deeply moving book that offers valuable insights into the process of healing and the power of faith. It's a book that will touch your heart and enrich your soul. Highly recommended.
