One of the challenges I’ve faced during the process of creating and now promoting the book is balancing the financial and ministerial aspects. While on one hand being anything but wealthy means I need to spend wisely and would dearly love to at least break even on what I’ve spent out of my own pocket to make the book a reality, I can’t allow this consideration to overshadow or overpower my belief in the book as a means to change lives.
Luckily, every once in a while something comes along that fulfills both these objectives.
Angela Stevens, a true woman of God, has been kind enough to share information about the book on both of her blogs: a general overview in Domestic Divapalooza, and the chapter on Nancyjo Mann in her personal blog I Am Pooped. Mrs. Stevens has a passion for pro-life ministry, and by her graciously (and with permission, of course) running Mann’s chapter not only is she providing a sample chapter for people curious about the book to look over, by giving Mann’s story wider visibility it is our prayer God will use it to bring encouragement, wisdom and healing.
Stevens’ comments after the chapter are testimony of how her heart is with Christ:
I got permission from Jerry Wilson with Nancyjo Mann’s blessing to share this with you all of you. I’m probably going to share it on a few more places on the internet. It’s an important story because it just reinforces the fact that you can’t out-sin the Lord’s Grace.
I’m the type of person that believes as a Christian we are not too good to spend time with people that have a story to tell. Maybe you know somebody going through something that could use a real friend… one that isn’t going to judge.
Anyhow… I will not spend too much time sharing what’s really going on inside of me because that would take away from this chapter that I wanted you to read so that you will truly think about what it is you’re suppose to get out of this.
What are your thoughts on Abortion? Do you know someone that has had an abortion that is struggling and hurting deep down inside? Do you have an abortion story that you would like to share? I promise you will not get any judgment from me. I believe God allows certain things to happen for a reason and He knows what’s going to happen even before we do. So yes, sometimes bad things happen to good people but it’s what those people do with what has happened that matters in the end. God doesn’t give us anything that we can’t handle and when we seek Him we can handle ANYTHING.
God bless you both, Angela and Nancyjo.
Sorry I don’t have a Barnabas clip to play, but this vintage Midnight Oil video also has power:
