Preachers are like beachcombers. We look for treasures small enough to fit into sermons and valuable enough to warrant a place in them. In R. Wayne Willis's book, P.S. God, Can You Fly? there are many such treasures. Using prayers left by children in his hospital chapel, he writes concise meditations on Christian living and believing. He writes clearly and well, offering references and examples which substantiate and deepen his message. Given to me as a gift by a friend who knows and has worked with him, I am finding P.S. God, Can You Fly? to be a gift. And so, I thank Wayne Willis and commend the gift to others.

Filled with wisdom, compassion and insight. Each essay is a unique interpretation of a child's simple prayer and reflects the questioning spirit that is universal to all humanity.

This is a book based on real life experiences. The author is an adoptive parent himself who recounts for the reader the emotions of an unwed mother and a childless couple, both before and after adoption takes place. It is a realistic look at the highs and lows of those involved in the process, the love at the center of giving and receiving the newborn, and the happy ending for all. Charmingly painted by the author from personal photographs, this is a wonderful book for children and adults alike, one of particular value to those adopting or considering adopting. A must read!

What a wonderful book! Every attorney who handles private adoption should give this book to new parents. Any obstetrician's office where a child is making important decisions about her own life and that of a baby she is carrying would do well to make this resource available. My husband and I are giving a copy to all of our family members who have adopted. We have also checked to be sure that the local crisis pregnancy center has a copy. The book can be used on so many levels. In addition to those listed on the fly-leaf, I think it could be very useful in helping the young friends of adopted children understand one way that families can be made. Dr. Willis' artwork is also very expressive, and supports his words in such a way that enables the story to be told in an easy-to-understand manner. His characters' faces and body language do as much to show their sadness and joy as any of the written text. The painting of his daughter on her swing makes a great concluding statement that assures Dr. Willis' readers that indeed this family will live "as happily ever after as 'ever after' ever really is."
