“Is any thing too hard for
the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time
of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
Genesis 18:14 (KJV)
We read stories like that in
the Bible and say to ourselves (and to one another), “Yes, but things were
DIFFERENT back then. When was the last time YOU saw something like
that?”
Well, Jim Cymbala and Ann
Spangler may not have witnessed a miraculous pregnancy, but they have seen God
work miraculously in the lives of seven people.
They saw God working so powerfully, that they just had to write a book about
it. They called this book . . .
The Rescue.
Short. Sweet.
And definitely to the point.
There is no other word for it . . . these individuals were rescued from
circumstances that defy the imagination.
And they share their stories to remind you that God is still in the
life-saving business . . . and that there really is nothing too hard for God.
The stories are written in
the first person, and the “writers” don’t pull any punches. They are brutally – sometimes graphically –
honest with their experiences, so you might want to keep that in mind when
considering younger readers. And for
those who have been technologically blessed (which is about everyone these
days!) you can watch 5 of the stories contained in the book online at www.TheRescue.nyc/watch.
Think you’ve strayed too far
from God to be rescued? These seven
testimonies just might change your mind.
5 stars for a testimonial to
the rescuing power of the one true God
