About this ebook

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.

Engagingly readable, insightful and surprisingly upbeat despite the devastatingly heartbreaking catalyst for the book. As a mom who has also buried a child I found the writing to be a raw and honest description of the experience of loss and grief. As a Christian I found, in addition to the validation and encouragement of faith, fresh new perspectives on faith both in the valley and the aftermath of death. Altogether an excellent book I plan to read again and recommend to others, especially grieving parents.

I have followed the Luskos and Fresh life Church from afar since 2006. I grieved for that family when little Lenya went to heaven. This book is truly an inspiration and motivation to get moving towards the destiny God has for us all. There are such good words of hope. I found myself laughing and crying sometimes at the same time. I have always loved to listen to Levi's sermons and this book did not disappoint. Run towards the roar!

An Amazing book that taught me so much at seeing death and life in a different way. Jesus loves all of us and uses us in amazing ways. He has a plan that we have to follow. Let's not hide but face the roar of the Lion of the tribe of Judah. I recommend this book to anyone. It Brought tears, joy, faith, hope and it taught me to look at life differently.
