When life's rosy dreams dissolve into difficult realities that break our hearts, God shows that He specializes in restoration. If in these pages you see your own lifes experience mirrored in our daughters, may you, too, find a personal relationship with the same heavenly Father who continues to be her strength, comfort, and joy. Offers help and hope to those who wonder if they have out-sinned Gods grace or if their life circumstances have set them aside from being used by God, with practical help to every believer and church leader who sits side by side each Sunday with the broken and hurting. - Publisher.
