“I love stories – especially stories of real life and how the Lord has worked through people’s problems for His praise. This book is full of precious stories of an incredible variety of women, detailing each struggle and their reliance and delivery on and by God. I have used this book on several occasions in my teaching to remind us all that we don’t avoid problems – we push through problems. It has been helpful in displaying to those I teach that God is with us even in our darkest hour.” – Pastor Derrick Bennett
