Description

What will you do when the unthinkable happens? Pastor Levi Lusko never expected that five days before Christmas, his five-year-old daughter Lenya would suddenly go to heaven after an asthma attack. Learn the eye-opening truth of the power of hope in a world that is often filled with pain, suffering, and loss.

Her parents called her Lenya Lion because of her ferocious personality and hair that had been wild and mane-like since birth, but after her sudden loss, Pastor Levi Lusko and his wife Jennie had to figure out how to walk out of an emergency room without their daughter.

 In this moving memoir, Levi shares the power of hope in a world often visited by pain, suffering, and loss, urging you to view life as an adventure and encourages you to make an eternal impact.

More a manifesto for high-octane living than a manual for grieving, Through the Eyes of a Lion will help you turn your journey into a "roar story" by guiding you to:
Let God turn your pain into a microphoneLook past what you can see with the naked eyeUnderstand how a good God can allow bad thingsSurvive Saturday—the space between promise and fulfillment
Levi has walked through the intense, raw periods that come with grieving. Whether you're currently facing adversity or want to prepare yourself for inevitable hardship, it's time to look at the adventure of your life through Jesus' eyes—the eyes of a Lion.

    This has been a wonderful book and I'm so very thankful I have read it bc it helped me better connect with my sister who recently lost her little boy. There were a few pages missing (409 and 449) from my book, not sure if that a download issue or what but regardless I was blessed!

    This book has saved me. I live in NYC far from family and friends, as I go through a pretty challenging time in my life this book saved me. I barely sleep and have been waking up at 2am in the morning for a couple of weeks now as I'm restless I draw for your pages to give me strength to be closer to God. Today I read my last page, today will be the most challenging of days as I walk in faith that I will be okay. Thank you for sharing your words as I now too believe that I am special.

    With penetrating, almost searing wisdom earned first hand by suffering the cruelest blow any father can suffer - the death of his baby girl in his arms - Levi Lusko teaches us the hope we all have in the endlessly loving and bottomless arms of Jesus Christ embrace. How His death and resurrection bring us eternal life. But this is no sermon - it is the funny, tragic, amazing story of a young family and how they managed to survive the sudden and awful loss of Lena "Lion" Lusko - the wild-haired 5-year-old spunky girl pictured on the book cover. As a father, I am so very grateful to Lusko for sharing so openly on a subject so many keep private. And for his ability to speak about his keening loss with a sense of wit and humor. I found this book to be emotionally and spiritually uplifting and downright funny - something I never suspected when I turned the first page! I think that's Pastor Lusko's point: God created you and he loves you, so he sent His son Jesus to find you and save you for eternity. As parents, we have a confidence, joy and certainty that we will be reunited after death. Is that hard to believe? Of course it is! But Pastor Lusko uses his awful experience and tragedy to write a book that humorously, gently, kindly and exuberantly convinces us the God loves us, Jesus Christ lived, was crucified, died and was buried and then arose from the dead after 3 days to give us eternal life. If conquering your own death doesn't interest you, you probably won't enjoy this book. For everyone else - I give this five stars with a big "Hurrah!l" and humble "Thank You" to Pastor Levi Lusko, his wife, his girls and his New Life family! God bless you all!! John Zimmerman

    This is an absolute must read for anyone who ever has or ever will experience gut-wrenching, totally debilitating loss and grief, unfortunately that includes everyone, yes even you. Personally I have experienced this type of loss repeatedly through the last forty years of my life, (do you think God is trying to tell me something?). I only wish that I had learned these critical skills and lessons before the first time I went around this dark, evil mountain. I am confident that my life would have been quite different. I know that God will take us around it until we get it. I am grateful that He loves us that much. I wholeheartedly recommend that you read this book and learn these lessons before you draw your last breath and it's too late!

    I watched Levi Lusko's 4 sermons. This is to him and his family. Luskos, search the song "What I Know." It is such a beautiful song, and I personally think you really need to listen to it. It is by Tricia Broch. I'm praying for you guys. Bye.
