When you're comforting a grieving friend or loved one and need the right words, When I Get Where I'm Going says it all. The thoughtful and sensitive lyrics of the number one hit song by the same name by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton, have moved countless radio listeners to tears, while at the same time provided comfort to people who have lost loved ones. When I Get Where I'm Going is a beautifully illustrated book that is the perfect, sensitive touch to help someone through their most difficult moments.
I was sitting in the Christian bookstore reading this, looking for a book to give my father-in-law because he was dieing with cancer. I sat their crying and crying...the song is beautiful and what the book says is even more beautiful...because if you know you are going to Heaven, then there is joy in the passing, joy in the pain, joy knowing it will only be getting better, much better when we are home with our creator and out of this painful world. God and His home is the final word.

We sent a copy of this book to friends who lost their son in a senseless car accident. It reminds all of us to focus on the life to come and make the most of this journey here on earth. I've ordered extra copies for my family and friends. Death is just a door that is opened to the rest of our life. God Bless the ones who wrote this book. Mary Beeman Durango CO

My father passed away unexpectantly right before Thanksgiving and this song was played at his celebration of life service. A friend gave me this book and I cried, with joy, all the way through it. The message of hope and eternity in the book and song are beautiful and give me peace of where my Dad is. Beautifully written and illustrated. Now I am ordering several for my siblings as Christmas gifts.

My teenage daughter was recently killed in a car accident. I am desperately struggling to maintain my faith and when I saw this book I had to have it. While I could not stop crying when I read it, it has helped me tremendously and I know I will be reading it over and over again and dreaming of the day that I will get to see my baby girl again.
