Gaining Strength from Weakness

About the Book

What if your doctor told you that you were HIV positive? Would you get depressed, think that your life was over, and want to give up? Well, Asha didn’t; she came home that day and began writing prayers and positive thoughts, which eventually gave her the motivation and strength to move on with her life. She is sharing her collection of positive thoughts to offer encouragement to those living with HIV or any other life-threatening illness.
