Dwight Alexander had it all, a loving bond and children.  In the blink of an eye, his world began to tumble.  Mr. Alexander was at a seminar when he received the call that his wife and children had been in a terrible accident.  His wife Tina was killed on impact; his sons were hospitalized.  “Colin was hurt, but his injuries appeared to be from the neck down.”  Grant had an extensive head injury.  At first Mr. Alexander didn’t understand just how serious the boy’s injuries were.  “Colin and Grant were both critical; they’d lost their mother and were fighting for their lives.” 

Mr. Alexander walks the reader through the tragedy one step at a time. “Sunday came and I did the same things.”  While life felt as though it should come to a standstill, it went on.  People continued on with their lives.  But part of Mr. Alexander was missing.  There was Colin and Grant to think of; Dwight had to find a way to cope. 

There came a point when Dwight had to turn things over to God.  He drew strength from the story of Job.  God restored all Job had lost and multiplied it.  Dwight triumphantly went on with his life. 

Dwight Alexander authored “Through These Doors,” with the hope that his tragic loss and experience will help someone else to heal.  Mr. Alexander offers encouragement to readers to weather the storms of life.  His story is one of inspiration and courage.   Mr. Alexander is a talented author.  He successfully conveys his pain and triumph with others.  The photographs make this story come to life on the pages.  The cover is perfect for this book.  I highly recommend “Through These Doors” to Christians and those who enjoy non-fiction.
