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 microphone
- Look past what you can see with the naked eye
- Understand how a good God can allow bad things
- Survive 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.

An incredibly moving story about how a father deals with the loss of his daughter. Lusko writes the way people tell stories to each other on weekends or around the water-cooler. This isn't a dry, academic take on how to deal with searing loss. It is a real, no-holds barred attempt to come to grips with the pain of losing a child.
There are dozens of powerful images, metaphors and similes embedded throughout the book. My personal favourite is the one about "Turning off the dark." Lusko has traveled to NYC to take in the Broadway production of "Spiderman" and this phrase jumped off the signboard and into his heart. He then applies this image to his own personal situation.
If you have experienced the loss of a loved one, this is a helpful and practical book. You know beyond a doubt that Lusko is riding the same dark wave of heartache you have ridden. He is able to pinpoint the hurt and point people back to the God who has experienced a similar pain.

Having known Levi for many years through his ministry, I was deeply shocked by the death of his daughter Lenya. I remember receiving the message from friends of her passing. As I watched the Lusko family from afar deal with the loss of their sweet daughter, I saw a strength that renewed my spirit.
This book is amazing, it is not just for those that are suffering the grief of the loss of a loved one, but for all those that have suffered some loss and are walking into darkness instead of into the light. It reads exactly as if you were to be sitting and listening to Levi in person. The passion he has for his ministry and to deliver the message of hope in storms. I would higly recommend this book for anyone who is questioning their relationship, their doubts about heaven and needing the anchor during a storm, and to take heart that there is a loving God who wants an eternal relationship with you.
