Author Description

Tragedy shatters confidence in everything one holds as true. But it also opens the way to greater truth and faith. This is the author’s personal story of faith in God growing, not in spite of, but because of her husband’s debilitating brain hemorrhage. It’s a story of triumph, but not the usual tale of the human spirit prevailing over adversity. This is an honest treatise of the doubts, pain, weakness and negative emotions about life’s problems. In searching for endurance and strength to face each day, she asks along with the apostle John, “Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God” (John 5:5). In the end, it is the Holy Spirit who prevails. Through thirty-five years of his disability, the author and her husband continually re-discover that “neither death nor life... nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:38, 39).
