Faith For Fiery Trials, Vol. III
In Faith For Fiery Trials Vol III, each of the stories that you read in this compilation—including stories of grief due to the loss of a child, unexpected separation and divorce, contemplation of suicide, and healing from sickness and disease—you will witness the powerful hand of God in helping these amazing women to rise after trial and tragedy just like the Phoenix rises from the ashes. As you turn the pages of this book, prepare yourself to experience both the hurt and the healing of each story. Give yourself permission to sit in a space of meditation after reading this book to reflect on the love and grace that God has granted you through some of your most challenging trials. Then, praise His almighty name for the abundance of kindness and goodness that He has granted to you and each of the women in this book and work on increasing your faith in His promises.
