Judge’s Commentary*:

Wanda, I stayed up till after three a.m. to finish your book.  I am a Christian, baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit; but your book called me to greater things and I got up this morning bathed in God's love.

I am impressed with your journey and with the lessons you learned with such devotion. In fact, as I read the steps of your journey, I was almost speechless over the way you continuously offered yourself to God.  This is a book that can help anyone who reads it, because we have all fallen into at least one of your quandaries, but we haven't all made ourselves available to God's help or correction.

If you were to subtitle this book, it might be, Learning about God's Love. Over and over, God showed you love and patience; time after time, you got an answer, even though that sometimes took a while.  From healing your sick kids to being on a pastoral staff, God sent down his love and made all things possible.  I think I was most impressed with the 3+ years you spent, simply serving your husband and family until you felt like nothing.  That took tremendous effort on your part, especially with people telling you they missed you in this ministry or that.  Your awareness of the Enemy and the darkness he tried  to pour over your tasks proves how valuable you are to God--the enemy doesn't bother with many people.

Congratulations on your book, Wanda.  I am waiting for the next one.
