SUMMARY:A Life Worth Saving book release with Corrine James
DESCRIPTION:This is a story of one who was lost but now has been found. A story of redemption\, new life in Christ\, and a heavenly Father that was ever present and ever pursuing His wayward daughter. A Father that would never leave nor forsake her.\n \nThis is a story of everlasting love\, forgiveness\, and grace. The Lord began calling me to write my story\, my testimony\, about fifteen years ago. I remember questioning\, “Lord\, why me?” The Lord began to show me pieces of my life\, pieces that were hidden deep within. There was a testimony inside that He wanted me to share\, that I needed to share.\n \nOut of that calling\, A Life Worth Saving was birthed.\nIt’s about redeeming love\, restored relationships\, and freedom that only comes through Christ. It’s about my journey toward Christ\, one that has taken me from sadness to joy\, hopelessness to redeemed\, confusion to truth\, and fear to faith.\n \nSigned copies will be available for purchase.
