Looking for a Lamb presents a father's eye view of the grief process, told in allegorical form and based upon the famous ordeal in the Genesis tradition. Closer to home, the process is seen through the eyes of the author as he watches his 16-year-old son suffer and die from leukemia. Each stage of the grief process is presented as a potential lamb of sacrifice, but not the one God Himself provided. It is only after meeting the Lamb of Lambs that both father and son find their true purpose and peace.
