Synopsis

Have you ever wondered why some individuals are made better by the same experience that renders other people bitter? Are you one of those who (after listening to yet another discussion on faith) lie awake at night thinking 'what if there's more to God and this faith-thing than I am willing to allow myself to believe?' What if there are possibilities to be more, to be the best, to experience the best that are eluding me because of my unbelief? And if there's indeed God, what if he can really wipe away my pain, give me hope and make my life meaningful? Find the answers to these questions and more in these gut-wrenching true-life stories of five everyday, ordinary women with extraordinary faith.

·      And, if you already have faith, how strong is it? Enough to withstand 12 miscarriages within sixteen years of marriage?

·      Find out from Silvana, one of the courageous women in this book. In her own case, barrenness is not the only issue she has to contend with. Her in-laws are pissed off that she can’t give them grandchildren. They want her out of their son’s home.

·      Nompumelelo, a young wife, with three equally young children, lost the love of her life to a fluke illness, and must embark on life alone, in a strange country. And yet her family is telling her ‘God is still good.’ How dare they!

·      Udeme thinks her fiancé’s ‘no sex before marriage’ policy makes him the ideal partner. If only she knew.

·      And, head strong Katarina learns that beauty and self-confidence are no safeguards against abuse barely one year into her dream marriage.

Told in a confiding tone, awe-inspiring BUT HE CALLS ME BLESSED! will resonate, because it deals with universal issues that affect readers from all walks of life, regardless of race, gender, religion, or position within society.

From the 2017 Wasafiri shortlisted Author.
