Synopsis

Christianity has been depicted as a ""Women's Religion"" thus portraying a weak female leaning on her faith as a crutch. This is not true of the story told in From Despair to Delight. It is an account of one woman's courage over three decades plus, walking day by day trusting God. Each new day brought exciting and difficult challenges, but the great stressors of infidelity, divorce, and death revealed strength, not weakness. You will laugh and cry as you walk with Pat over the mountaintops and down into the valleys. How do you practically apply the Word in the day-to-day pressures in which you live? The book of Ephesians describes the Word as our Sword in the spiritual struggles we all face. From Despair to Delight offers you some simple and practical ways of using your Sword. It is a remarkable testimony of a faith that is undaunted by trials.
