Synopsis

Robin Jones Gunn gives poignant insights from the lives of women in the Bible and reveals personal details from her own life that demonstrate the truth that God's goodness prevails.

What if we could see the bigger picture of our lives as God sees it? Would our view radically change if we understood that His grace covers us and everything is redeemable?

We are directed in Romans 12:1 to present ourselves as a living sacrifice -- a victim. Not a victim of circumstances, but victims of the unfailing mercy of God. We can do nothing to stop Him from loving us. His mercies are new every morning.

From Booklist:

Gunn is a popular Christian author who often writes for a young audience, so her latest book is a departure, a factual memoir of how God’s hand shaped her life and career. In it she conveys many universal truths about unmerited grace, compassion, forgiveness, and another important concept, obedience to a higher power in making use of one’s personal gifts. Gunn had wanted to be a missionary in Africa but was turned down as a simple laundress for not having the right skill set. The children in her Sunday school class were delighted that she would still be present to tell them her beautiful stories. Their reaction to her disappointment enabled her to recognize her skills as a storyteller. Gunn’s longing for missionary work continued—and manifested. Her books would eventually reach Africa and other foreign lands to inspire countless women and schoolchildren on a scale impossible for a single missionary. Additional startling synchronicities in the book suggest the value of moving along right paths and convey the importance of recognizing ourselves as instruments of God’s handiwork. --Susan DeGrane
