THE five-year-old daughter of Christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman has been killed by a four-wheel drive driven by her brother.

Authorities in Tennessee say the girl, Maria, was hit in a driveway at the family home yesterday south of Nashville and died later in hospital.

The Toyota Land Cruiser was driven by the girl's teenage brother, Tennessee Highway Patrol spokeswoman Laura McPherson said.

Join me in praying for the family as they deal with this tragic event.

Oh, that is just awful. The poor brother must feel terrible. Let's all pray that they can get through it. Something like this can be a family-killer.

This certainly can split families. I once served on a jury where a mother was suing a father who had backed over their son and killed him. The boy's brother was in the vehicle with dad, and the mom (who divorced dad after the accident) was suing the father for the cost of therapy for the surviving brother, claiming it was his fault the boy needed the help.

The Chapmans needs to be covered in prayer for some time to come. They have given so much of their lives to the Christian music community. It's time to return a small portion of that to them.

Thank you for posting this, Michele.

Please also pray for those who will be caring for the Chapman family, and their home church. There is a need to ballance informing the congregation of events, while protecting their privacy, as they are, to some extent, a well known family.

That has to be just horrible, for the parents, and for the sibling who was driving. I wish their family the best during this time.
