"Through it All...God Was There" - A Review

by Women of God

Have you ever been asked for a divorce after many years of marriage? Have you ever been told you have cancer? Have you ever been involved in a car accident and lost your mother and your sibling? Have you ever been in such a pit of despair so deep that you could barely even whisper the Name of Jesus?

Have you ever felt like Jesus was the only friend you had? Have you ever been abused so badly that all you could do in public was look down at the floor and hope no one would notice you? Have you ever held a Vacation Bible School on your carport? Did you grow up in a dysfunctional family? Have you ever had a child that died? Has the Lord ever told you to do something way out of your comfort zone, and you did it out of sheer obedience rather than sacrifice?

If you can answer a resounding yes to any of these questions, then Through It All...God was There needs to be added to your bookshelf! This collaborative work was written by a group of authors from our area. All of the authors are in a group called Women of God. Women of God is a group of Christ-followers from many denominations and churches and all walks of life. These women do not claim to have their walk with Christ perfected. They are all just sinners saved by God's amazing Grace, and on an amazing journey in which they are continually walking in faith daily to be like Jesus.

Through It All...God Was There is full of stories of encouragement and hope. There are 82 life stories and testimonies by 29 different authors, most of whom are local! Some of the stories will make you cry tears of sadness; others will make you cry tears of joy. Some will make you laugh; others will just give you that warm, fuzzy feeling inside…but all of the stories will touch your heart. You can find this book in the Connection Bookstore. Once you begin reading it, you will not want to put it down.
