Why would anyone want to buy this book from an unknown first-time author? The answer is simple. If you say to yourself, "This could never happen to me," "I wouldn't be so stupid," or "My faith is so strong that nothing or no one can ever shake it," then this book is for you.

This book is not just for the believers of Christ but also for nonbelievers. No matter what struggles you face--financial, death, faith, loneliness, and the like--there is a living God who loves you no matter what you have experienced or where you are in life. God loves you before you were born.Many people own a Bible, but it is never read. The book sits on a shelf, collecting dust. My husband Harry and I read and discussed Scripture along with prayer time and reading a daily devotional. In facilitating Bible lessons to small groups in our home, I would always say, the Bible contains all the answers for how we should live our lives. It is a guide to daily living in a fallen world. Think of his commands as a moral compass, as it makes us conscious of sin. So how could this fall from grace happen to a faith-loving Christian like me?

My intent in writing this book is to provide you with the tools and means to give you hope in our troubled world, and to learn how not to become bitter but to forgive, to keep a sense of humor, and to never give up on yourself.
