Finding Grace: A
True Story About Losing
Your Way in Life . . . And Finding It Again
by Donna VanLiere
Donna VanLiere's memoir, Finding Grace,
is aptly described as "a true story about losing your way in life . . . and
finding it again." With candor and humor, VanLiere takes us on a journey
through her life, along with its stumbling blocks and struggles, and its
joys. This book made me laugh and cry.
VanLiere speaks with honesty about the heartache,
disappointment, frustration, dissatisfaction, anger, and pain one experiences
when life plans go awry and even the simplest desires go unfulfilled. The
author struggled with a myriad of emotions when her dream of being married
and having a family was derailed by her inability to conceive.
The truly splendid part of this book is the important
truth which VanLiere shares -- when we admit our helplessness in driving
our own dreams and acknowledge God's divine power and goodness, we open the
door to grace.
At a time when many people are suffering financial
setbacks and lost dreams, Finding Grace is a must read.
