All the ladies in my walking group had read this and highly recommended it, I ordered it from Amazon. I was not disappointed. I really pray that I can be half the prayer warrior that this Sarah was. I don't think I've ever read a fiction book that was so inspirational, and I'm glad the author did it that way. ( ) Loved this Book. It really changed my thinking. It is about an elderly woman and her salvation. Her later life after she accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. I especially liked the visual descriptions of the angels and demons and the warfare between them with each of Sara's decisions. I loved how it told about how her daily prayers were answered, from her community to places around the world. I would recommend this book to everyone. Obtained this thru bookbub after a friend recommended it. My uncle had just passed, so I started to read it. It grabbed me from the first. I always say I'm not "overly religious", but this story touched me deeply. The power of prayer, how it intercedes in our life, how one decision, pride or humility can change our life. Powerful, moving. An amazing book that tells of the power that prayer can have in people's lives. Also speaks to the issue of pride and how that can ruin a Christian's life also. A little old lady who becomes a Christian at 71 decides to take on prayer walking and other ministries, only to be ridiculed within the church that she has recently joined and fought every step of the way by the new young pastor who only wants to do things according to his 5 year plan. Demons attack both and while one flourishes in spite of the attitude of town, the other keeps going farther and farther downhill. no reviews | add a review
Pastor Paul is a young seminary graduate called as interim pastor to a small rural church. He is full of zeal, but mostly for self-promotion. He sincerely loves the Lord but his past emotional wounds leave him vulnerable and in need of attention and affirmation. He constantly frustrates his angel, Saldu, who tries to steer him toward a more humble attitude. Sarah Edwards is a new church member, a recent widow who gets saved at age 71. Unknown to her, Sarah has two angels to help disciple her and she is maturing rapidly in the faith. She is confused by her prophetic gifting, which leads her to offend some church members. She also prayer walks in front of Pastor Paul's house. When his wife sees her pacing back and forth "talking to no one," Paul quickly writes her off as a "wacko." Through the lives of Paul and Sarah you will see that the really wonderful news is that living a life pleasing to God has nothing to do with gritting your teeth and trying harder (again and again and again). God rewards you for simple, loving, serving actions throughout your days, stepping outside your own concerns to truly see others in His name. No library descriptions found. |
