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

ISBN: 0593238524

In this searing meditation on the bonds of family and the allure of extremist faith, one of today’s most celebrated Christian writers recounts his unexpected journey from a strict fundamentalist upbringing to a life of compassion and grace—a revelatory memoir that “invites comparison to Hillbilly Elegy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Searing, heartrending . . . This stunning tale reminds us that the only way to keep living is to ask God for the impossible: love, forgiveness, and hope.”—Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason Raised by an impoverished widow who earned room and board as a Bible teacher in 1950s Atlanta, Philip Yancey and his brother, Marshall, found ways to venture out beyond the confines of their eight-foot-wide trailer. But when Yancey was in college, he uncovered a shocking secret about his father’s death—a secret that began to illuminate the motivations that drove his mother to extreme, often hostile religious convictions and a belief that her sons had been ordained for a divine cause. Searching for answers, Yancey dives into his family origins, taking us on an evocative journey from the backwoods of the Bible Belt to the bustling streets of Philadelphia; from trailer parks to church sanctuaries; from family oddballs to fire-and-brimstone preachers and childhood awakenings through nature, music, and literature. In time, the weight of religious and family pressure sent both sons on opposite paths—one toward healing from the impact of what he calls a “toxic faith,” the other into a self-destructive spiral. Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post–World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and Sixties-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in grace instead of fear. “I truly believe this is the one book I was put on earth to write,” says Yancey. “So many of the strands from my childhood—racial hostility, political division, culture wars—have resurfaced in modern form. Looking back points me forward.”
