A FOCUS THORN

About the Book

This book is about a woman of great faith, one that has gone through many, many, many trials in her life. Trials that would have taken the normal person under and out a long time ago. Therefore, this book is designed to encourage, inspire, challenge, stretch you beyond the norm. Obey when you don’t want to do right, trust when you have tried everything and everybody, believe when you know it’s impossible, and have faith when you can’t see it and only have a string of hope left. Trust and obey is God’s way and the only way!
