About This Book
Some years pass by us unnoticed. Others break us and nearly destroy us. But if we live through them, we're changed forever. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you could rewind a year of your life and choose a different path? Yesterday's stains cling to our souls, and we're never the same person we were a week ago. Susanna Jacobs knows this better than anyone. She'd give anything to change the past and obliterate the deep scar it left on her heart, but she knows she can't go back, and she can't run and hide from it anymore. Instead, she's trying to look forward... but she's afraid. She's afraid of God's plan for her, afraid of more heartache. She's not sure how to move forward in her faith and her relationships with God and the small circle of human beings she calls family and friends. Her life is that fragile and that raw. Can the red Bible build a bridge back to faith and friendship, or will it always be a reminder of mistakes made and treasures lost? As Susanna seeks to mend her heart, her marriage, and her friendship with the antagonistic Joanne, God puts her faith to the ultimate test. After all she's been through, will Susanna keep her eyes on the Lord and walk on the stormy seas of life? Or will she let go of God's Hand, give in to her doubts, and sink beneath the waves without a fight? A Woman Like Me /Kernel of Wheat concludes every woman's fingernail-clawing climb from the chasm of hurt to the rugged peak of renewal. It's a place where God urges us to see beyond our understanding, to the good He has for us. As we look through our tears, we see, by faith, that the journey never ends. What we perceive as the final climb is only the end of the beginning. And as we look forward in our personal journey of faith, we sometimes catch a glimpse of how much we've changed in the face of 365 days of living. A must-read for every woman who's had her heart shattered and yearns to pick up the pieces. Kernel of Wheat will take your heart hostage on a roller coaster ride until the final page.
