Alive in Heaven! A Real Life Story of Tragedy, Hope and Healing! by Mark Canfora A Child Died, a Father Cried . . . and God Answered. At 2:30 a.m. on July 12, 2005, Mark Canfora received a call from his sixteen-year-old “Daddy, Marky’s dead.” His eighteen-year-old son had passed away. As a result of this tragedy, Mark would never be the same. This heartbroken father tells his story with honesty and vulnerability, sharing his journey from grief-stricken thoughts of his own suicide to God-fueled courage and a ministry that now offers comfort and hope to thousands. Mark Canfora writes, “Acting on my faith in God and my love for Him, I hope and pray that this book will help and encourage others who suffer the shocking loss and excruciatingly painful tragedy of the death of a loved one, especially the death of a child.” The “Alive in Heaven” is being made into a feature film. The Movie rights are under contract and this real life story of tragedy, hope and healing is planned to hit the big screen in late 2012 or early 2013. “Mark Canfora has found the loving power of God in the deepest valley of his life! A true story of how much God loves us!” - Larry Wayne, Evening Host, K-Love Radio Network “There is such a need for this ministry of hope and healing. Mark has suffered loss in his son Mark Jr., and instead of being angry or having the grief to turn him away from the Lord, he has turned that loss into something good.” - Jan Markowitz, Moody Bible “Mark Canfora has an inspiring, tremendous & powerful story of hope and healing. Many have come to Jesus Christ through his tragedy.” - Joel Davis, Family Life Ministries
