This book, a compilation of poems, written for the purpose of capturing and relating the story of an everyday soul. A soul whose life journey experienced, witnessed and envisioned the struggles and unexpected unfoldings of God. These incidents and events are as real as the air we breathe. Some of the depictions may be terrifying. They were equally terrifying and eventually humbling for this soul. The book offers solace and escape, as it shares anguish and happiness, miracles and bewilderment. God used these trials to fashion the free-spirited soul of a child into a strong, empathetic, and prudent woman. The details captured in each stanza reveal the faithfulness of the Lord. When the woman inside plunged into the deep abyss of life and groped in the parched desert, she discovered her only source of escape from life's harshness and drudge was found in God's mercy. The underlying stories may cause you to cry, laugh, agonize, and sympathize. They will share God's Glory, experienced by a soul who was belittled, rejected, ridiculed, battered and torn. However, like items at a garage sale this once tattered soul was repurchased and is now being used by God anew! --------------------------------------------- Christine, you have made Jesus so proud of you, his light is shining through your eyes and you set a perfect example of the way he would like for us all to live our lives. I am thankful he has brought in my pathway, you are an inspiration to me and I'm sure others. Thank you for sharing your diary with us, I know that it was not easy, but Jesus is going to use it for his good as well as keep you inspired to write more. GOD BLESS YOU and YOURS - Barbara Ferguson

GOD BLESS YOU and YOURS - Barbara Ferguson Gods Work-In-Progress Writing With The Scars Gods Glory in short, easy-to-read poems, is truly full of heartfelt emotions.

I would rate this book on a scale of 1 5 a well earned 5 for the freshness and style of this new author. - Pam Watson Christine Morgan has shared from her heart the life experiences that make her the person she is today a beautiful, God loving, God fearing and God reverencing woman.

“An extraordinary novel . . . a triumph of insight and storytelling.” —Associated Press “A true masterpiece.” —Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed An extraordinary story set in the first century about a woman who finds her voice and her destiny, from the celebrated number one New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bees and The Invention of Wings In her mesmerizing fourth work of fiction, Sue Monk Kidd takes an audacious approach to history and brings her acclaimed narrative gifts to imagine the story of a young woman named Ana. Raised in a wealthy family with ties to the ruler of Galilee, she is rebellious and ambitious, with a brilliant mind and a daring spirit. She engages in furtive scholarly pursuits and writes narratives about neglected and silenced women. Ana is expected to marry an older widower, a prospect that horrifies her. An encounter with eighteen-year-old Jesus changes everything. Their marriage evolves with love and conflict, humor and pathos in Nazareth, where Ana makes a home with Jesus, his brothers, and their mother, Mary. Ana's pent-up longings intensify amid the turbulent resistance to Rome's occupation of Israel, partially led by her brother, Judas. She is sustained by her fearless aunt Yaltha, who harbors a compelling secret. When Ana commits a brazen act that puts her in peril, she flees to Alexandria, where startling revelations and greater dangers unfold, and she finds refuge in unexpected surroundings. Ana determines her fate during a stunning convergence of events considered among the most impactful in human history. Grounded in meticulous research and written with a reverential approach to Jesus's life that focuses on his humanity, The Book of Longings is an inspiring, unforgettable account of one woman's bold struggle to realize the passion and potential inside her, while living in a time, place and culture devised to silence her. It is a triumph of storytelling both timely and timeless, from a masterful writer at the height of her powers.
