This
book contains seven great stories of lives being changed by the grace
of God. Each one is unique. Some experienced parental abandonment.
Others were sexually abused. Some tried hard to get out of the mire
while others made choices that brought them deeper into despair. When
they cried out to God, He came to their rescue.
These
stories are evidence that God is very much in the life transforming
business. The book is an encouragement to anyone wanting to make a
new start in their life. There is a prayer at the end of the book to
help readers who want to ask Jesus into their lives and surrender to
God.
These
are first person stories of God in His rescue work. The book does not
contain any additional teaching on being healed from hurts or on
overcoming disadvantages. Readers who want practical suggestions for
growth after God's rescue will have to look elsewhere.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
