2:32 AM: Losing Faith in God
The bible tells you how to fight the enemy but what do you do when it feels like it is God you’re up against? Charlotte's nightmare began at 2:32 AM, the morning she experienced the most unimaginable pain ever, the loss of a child. Now, she finds herself angry at God. She trusted Him and He took her only child. She prayed to Him and it seems as if He has turned His back on her. And if things could not get worse, hell keeps showing up at her door. What can she do, when she continually cries in the darkness but gets no answer? Where can she turn when it feels like her back is against the wall and there is no way out? Who can she depend on if God let her down? Questions Charlotte ponder when the memories snatch her from her sleep at 2:32AM. Questions that make her angry because to her, God has forsaken them.

This story touched my soul. The writing in this book was so real, it seemed as if I knew Charlotte personally. From the 1st page & throughout the story, her pain, sorrow & grief were definitely felt. Dynamic storyline filled with a message that needed to be heard. There were a few times my eyes teared up for Charlotte truly went thru it. Title on point with content & also showed God's goodness. Well written & highly recommended

SOOOO Freaking Emotional. I cried real, hard, ugly tears with this book. I can't even explain how emotional I was. Just know, I had a true soul cleansing. I cried for these characters as if I knew them and as if I was living their story.
I love when a book captures your heart and mind...then holds onto it way past the last word of the book....

So it took me a minute to gather my thoughts on this book. This is the 3rd book I've read by this author and I keep wanting more. I can't say that I was a fan of the "Christian fiction" genre before reading these books but I am quickly growing to like them. This book is about a woman's faith being tested through various forms of loss. The loss of a child(ren). The loss of friendship. The loss of her husband. And the loss of her faith. What struck a cord for me is that I've been in this woman's shoes. Without giving away the story I'll just say this book is almost identical to my relationship with my husband about 4 & a half years ago. The only thing I would fix about this book is the few types but even that wouldn't make me give it any less than 5 stars. This book is so good, yet heartbreaking at the same time. It's about holding steady in your faith and overcoming the storm. Troubles don't last always.

Wish I could give this book more than 5 stars
This book is for anyone going thru a storm, anyone that is has been hurt, lost, or just feel like giving up. God has a purpose for all the tests and trials that you are going thru, you just have to have faith in Him! Lakisha I love all your books but this is my top favorite! Great job!!!!

This book is everything
I want sure about reading this story due to all the loss I have experienced lately. I'm not going to lie. Charlotte and Keith's journey broke me down. I think God chose me to read this when it was time. I began to stumble and question everything and lose myself as well as not faith trying to be strong for everyone else. Reading this story let me release the pain in my soul through many emotions and tears. The title is perfect. I hate what Charlotte had to endure but we have to know God doesn't promise no storms but that he will carry us through if we just trust him. Thank you for this story LaKisha. I love all if your books but this one will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for letting God use you to minister in this way. Please read this book. You will not be disappointed.

Touching!
This book pulled at the strings of my heart. Being a mother whom has also suffered the loss of a child and asked God why so many times. Ultimately it was Faith and trust in the love of Jesus Christ that carries me through. This novel is just that...a piece of work that brilliantly shows the harsh reality of suffering and death but then the love of our Lord and how he keeps us and throughout it all never leaves us! Amen!

When You Grieve
I have read several books by this author and they were very good reads. I must say this storyline hit home for me the most. The grief I feel comes from a relationship, one that has ended not in an actual death but one where we can no longer stay together. The only other difference is between me and the character Charlotte is that I didn't give up on God or blame him for all the troubles, hurt and pain I was going through. It just made me seek God more, especially when I realized I was in a relationship with a wolf in sheep clothing and the enemy was using him to push me off the deep end of darkness.
I love how the author shows how God never gives up on us when we call ourselves walking away and being mad at God.
I highly recommend this book to read, I feel it would help you understand when we go through bad times in our life it is not the end, but our beginning to draw closer to God and his Word and have patience waiting on God's timing for our joy to come.

Charlotte awakens at 2:32 AM one morning, to find her 2 month old daughter dead from SIDS. I'd that isn't worse, days later she finds out that her husband slept with her best friend on the night that they put their daughter to rest. As her faith is wavering, she is encouraged to start a blog for other parents who have lost a child to SIDS.
A series of events occur, and Charlotte decides to forgive Keith…only to soon learn that he has been diagnosed with cancer and she is pregnant AGAIN. In their quest to find a cure for Keith, Charlotte's faith begins to soar. Her support system not only b shows up, but shows out.
My favorite character was Charlotte and the least favorite was Dakota. With friends like this…who needs enemies. This book was beautifully written and I read it on a flight, I couldn't stop myself from crying. Another soul stirring book by @kishajohnson that I would highly recommend.

The book was so overwhelmingly good!!
I had a miscarriage in February and I have been struggling in my relationship with God ever since. I could relate to Charlotte soo well. The anger and hurt and brokenness. When she finally returned to church and felt the spirit moving on her and at the same time she wanted to forgive God she wanted to fight him. I’ve felt that too. Let me tell you it’s better to let him in than to fight him. The rain falls on us all, bad things happen to good people like us too. It’s no ones fault. At the end of this book Dr Mitchell starts to pray and when she does, y’all the Holy Spirt fell on me so hard and the Lord and I had our first good conversation since my loss.
I am soo thankful for this book and soo glad I decided to pick it up!
God bless you all! And if you’re going through a loss just know you’re going to get THROUGH it. Don’t turn your back on our Father let him love you thought this pain. Love to you all!

Running from God
When you're trying to live according to God's word and diligently seeking his face, attending Church regularly, worshipping and praising and meet with tragic circumstances, what do you do? You try to understand and praise Him anyway but sometimes you hurt so much that you find yourself angry with Him. You try to survive this thing alone. But eventually, you have to go running back to Him because it's the only way to survive. I was deeply moved by the prayers in this book and found myself studying the scriptures used as if this were a devotional. I read passages to my husband. I loved this book. Even if you haven't lost a child, you can relate to the pain and reactions Charlotte experienced by the trials she went through. Excellent read.

In this book Charlotte lost her baby and her husband. I can say she had a rough year. Her husband keith kept his faith all the way until he closed his eyes. Charlotte lost her faith the days she lost her daughter from SIDS. But keith helped her get it back. And even on his passing he was telling her to not get angry. Keith passing was due to not going to the hospital and dying from prostate cancer. Getting checked up is so important. Because it ran in his family when keith finally made his appointment it already progressed to stage 4. Not trying to scare anyone but please get checked out. Things can be prevented. And never give up your faith. This saying I like
One breath at a time instead of 1 day.
If you read enjoy great read

Emotional
This book was/is awesome. I want to thank Ms. Johnson for ministering to my soul. This book takes you through all emotions. I was happy, sad, angry, and grateful. You told a story/delivered a message in such a way that anyone could relate. She gives scripture references for guidance. If you have ever lost someone you loved and questioned, why me, why my family, how can I get through this. This is a must read. Even if you didn't this is a must read you can use it to bless someone.

This was a tear jerker because dwell with two issues the lost of a child and also an unfaithful husband , Charlotte went through so much dealing with Keith and Dakota and at times when she lost her faith in God for letting her go through these things, I would of given this book a full five stars but it has quite a few errors, I have read several books by this author so maybe her editor was not on point with this book sometime book content is so much and can be so in tense it takes you off guard.

Victory!
As with the other books that I have read from author Lakisha. The story was cathartic for me. Getting to 81%, I did not complete reading for several days. This theme for me has been the deliverance for me as well of the characters. I cried, rejoiced, prayed, reached for the God of my comfort and became stronger as the strength of the characters did. The author illustrates real life and feeling. Honestly after reading, "Dear God" I was going to read something else but was lead by the Spirit from which this book came. Thank you!

Dealing With Loss
I had no idea what this book was about when I selected it from my Kindle library last night. The title 2:32 AM intrigued me. I am a grandmother and am long since past my child-bearing years but I am sure we all have faced the fear that we may lose an unborn or newborn child. I read this because I just could not put the kindle down after I started the book. Thank you Lakisha Johnson for providing everyone with a sensitive spirit-filled book to help soothe a hurting soul.

This book is definitely a must read. The author has penned a great story line, page turner and she connects you with the characters instantly. You will experience the emotions that the characters are feeling. I wanted to hurt Dakota. Some friend she turned out to be.
I haven't read many books that make me cry but this one really got me. Great job Lakisha Johnson. I look forward to reading more of your books.

Wow, what a whirlwind of a read
This was amazingly good read. It pulled at my heartstrings as it chronicled tragedy and victory all at the same time. It also strengthen my faith with the spiritual revelations and scriptures. One does not have to identify with the loss of a child, to be uplifted and inspired by thus work of art. I strongly recommend this book not just as an excellent read but also a guide for how to keep on keeping on fine breath at a time.

Testing of your faith
This book had me in tears this is truly a book about testing your faith. If you have not read the book of Job, I advise you to read it. Then make sure you have Kleenex and your bible with you. Excellent book that speaks about losing everything but still maintaining her faith in God. I am going to use just one breathe because that is really what we have a breathe at a time.

I have never been so touched by what some women goes through with the lost of a baby, the emotional toll is so much plus the pain to go with it . I prey for every and anyone who goes through this , stay preyed up and keep the faith.

Awesome
I couldn’t put it down. When my mom died I would ask God why her and not my dad. I prayed and asked God to tell me why she wouldn’t fight. Like Keith she came to me and said I am tired physically and mentally. What a peace came over me for that and to know God heard me and answered my prayers.

Finding mg faith
There is not a chance that goes by whenever I see a book by LaKisha Johnson that I don't stop and read it. It fills my soul and my spirit. It reminds me we serve an awesome God and he is never not with us. I rejoice, cry, laugh, scream just like the main characters, but I know as Charlotte and Keith did, He would never leave or forsake us!

Wow. This book….. whew. Although I’m not grieving the loss of a child, this book helped me with the passing of one of my favorite people in the world! The demonstration of loss and recompense is impeccable. The Lord will restore because healing and restoration is possible.
