♥EverYthing♥

I have been reading "live uncaged" 
for a while now...So,
I was interested to read Mary Demuth's new book
Everything: What You Give and What You Gain to Become Like Jesus
 
You can read/listen to her story here...Love Heals Old Wounds.
Once you do, you will feel the power of these words.

"Now a wife, a mother and an author, Mary invites her readers on a journey to discover the love, freedom and eternal life found in Jesus Christ. “That’s the gospel: transformed lives. That God would reach down from heaven, pull us out of the pit, set our feet on a rock and make our footsteps firm. That’s what God does for us. He is capable of turning whatever trial that you’ve been through into some sort of triumph for His glory alone."  

This is not a "self-help" book.  Only JESUS can help.   That is what I love about this book.  It is a "story".  Testimony of one more person who has taken time to boldly confess on these pages the power of the gospel. Still. Today.

"The gospel isn't a life management program. 
It shouldn't merely be the crutch we fall on when life gets ugly. 
It should be the legs we walk on,
the air we breath."
 
Oh yes.  Ashes into beauty. 
 

I received a copy of this book for the purpose of review.
