DESCRIPTION:
This is a wonderful book for anyone going through any kind of crisis--or who needs to know that God's goodness abounds even in what's broke." (Anita Lustrea, speaker, author and host of Midday Connection, Moody Radio)"I loved this book! A great read for those of us who need reminding that God doesn't ever leave us out to dry.

"In this time of longing to know what God was up to and to experience his goodness and presence, God worked me over by showing me where and how I could find him. You'll laugh and cry with her as she experiences spiritual blessing and discovers God's goodness in ways she never expected. And I found him good.". Girlsthen womenlike us stay strong through it all.
