Praying for My Life

When life experiences became overwhelming and her faith was tested, Marion Bond West found herself praying for her life - praying a desperate prayer for confidence in God's promise of faithfulness. In her new spiritual memoir, Bond West shares her story and the prayer that changed her life. Join the author at the bedsides of her troubled thirty-something twin sons - Jeremy, a victim of bipolar disorder and a punishing auto accident; And Jon, struggling with addictions and suffering from a life-threatening infection. Journey with Bond West as she recalls the moments in her life when her faith was nearly shattered - upon the death of her husband, when faced with raising four children alone, and learning to say no to an addicted child. Looking to find hope when things seemed bleakest, she prays the prayer of Habakkuk and finds that in these same moments God was most powerfully present. Written with honesty, uncompromising faith and wry wisdom, this extraordinary story will help readers discover a faith that can face - and triumph over - difficulties, both large and small. It is a treasure they can turn to again and again to witness the transforming power of prayer.
