God has created in mankind a desire for life, and the desire to have it more abundantly. We all know, however, that trials, troubles, health concerns, family and relationship problems can come our way. This book tells the true story of how these difficulties were handled in a way that saw them overcome and caused Audrey Mabley to blossom like a rose-truly revealing how God can turn all things to good, and how He can make all things beautiful in His time. The words within are written to give hope, encouragement, and faith for the reader to come to truly know God's love and His enabling, abundant grace that causes us to walk stronger and enjoy life. Amen!Growing up believing that I was ugly and that my father hated me took a toll on my self-esteem. When I discovered that Father God loved me, however, a delightful, refreshing, loving relationship began. Growing in grace enabled me to go through life's ups and downs in God's strength, and to live and enjoy the true life Father sent Jesus to give me. "Soldiering on" is a battle cry at times, but seeing the fruit of labours is worth it all. Amen!
