My Review
Milam has written a very encouraging book about how God renews, redeems and gives grace to us in our times of need. I like that she does not have us think that God will do it all without our involvement. She is not hesitant to share that she was led to the right therapists to help her PTSD, “...who with God's grace gave me freedom from the pain of the past.” (481/1267) She had a similar experience with her physical condition, finding the clinic with the treatment she needed. God works but we must work too, she reminds us. The effort is well worth it.
To help the impact of this book, Milam has included a six week group study. There are specific instructions so this study could well be used by someone who has never led a study before. Each study includes a written opening prayer, introductory comments, an activity or two, Scriptures to read, questions for reflections, homework and a closing prayer. She also provides a list of books, videos and organizations with which to continue the grace journey.
This is a good and encouraging book with lots of Scripture and personal examples to help readers experience God's grace.
My rating: 4/5 stars.

More from Debbie
Through the profound joy and sorrow life brings and by His grace I have seen signs and wonders, experienced miraculous healings and came to know how alive the Lord is. Our gracious God supernaturally healed me from a 10 year life altering brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder, comforted me from the deep grief after the loss of more loved ones than I can count, and blessed me in more ways than I can imagine. The same God who did this for me is right there for you too. The full story of these miracles is detailed in my book Overtaken by Grace. I would love to share the hope of Christ with your readers.
