Fly a Little Higher: How God Answered a Mom's Small Prayer in a Big Way

by Laura Sobiech - Christian, Nonfiction

“Okay, Lord, you can have him. But if he must die, I want it to be for something big. I want someone’s life to be changed forever.” This is what Laura Sobeich prayed when she found out her 17-year-old son had only one year to live. With this desperate prayer, she released Zach to God’s will. When she told Zach to think about writing good-bye letters to family and friends, he decided instead to write songs. One of them, “Clouds,” captured hearts and changed not one life but millions.
