Order The Book
Let Me Have My Son contains collected prayer letters written by Cristóbal Krusen on behalf of his son, Daniel, who was civilly committed to the state psychiatric hospital in Williamsburg, Virginia on his eighteenth birthday in 2001.
What began for Cris as cries of help for his son became words of encouragement to many others going through their own times of trial, words that still today offer hope and healing for the broken-hearted. As you will read in this book, Cris has seen sore and many troubles but also knows what it means to "see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."
"The poignant and powerful cry of a father who refuses to abandon hope when all hope is gone. Krusen inspires with honest transparency."
Robert Whitlow,
Best-Selling Author, The Trial
