Glenda's story

"In those lonely hours I began to meditate on God. Who was He? Where was He? How could I get to Him? I continued praying, and in those troubled times, God became more and more real to me." Unwanted from birth and abused throughout her childhood, Glenda was desperate for love and a sense of belonging. Her only respite from her home life was school and the welcoming shade of a willow tree, under which she would lie and dream of another life, another family, and pray to the God she did not know yet. Ultimately, Glenda's afflictions became the cord with which God drew her to Himself. Receiving His salvation, she understood that God had saved her from her own sinfulness as much as He had saved her from her horrid conditions. This story of hope is an amazing account of our merciful Savior, who brings light out of darkness, joy out of sorrow and peace out of pain. - Back cover.
