From a Stolen Childhood to a Life of Joy: The Untold Story of Courage, Hope, and Triumph
WHEN LEAH, a cantankerous and disillusioned hospice patient asks the seemingly perfect and “highfalutin” Manna to tell her life story, she has no idea that she is opening a Pandora's box of secrets. It begins in 1960s China when little Manna first perceives God and has her first heavenly encounter. Following her to Canada, and eventually, the United States, this autobiographical novel is the story of a little girl trapped by culture, convention, rules, societal expectation, abuse - and of the woman who had to overcome it all.
“The reader is completely captivated from the first page...this story will break your heart and put it back together again. Made For More® is a game-changer!” -Jurgen Matthesius, Pastor, Speaker, Author of PUSH: Pray Until Something Happens
Where is God? Does He exist? Does He care? Does He really talk to us? Unaware of His divine plan, how can we assume anything but that we are somehow being punished - or have been forgotten when we are besieged with troubles?
“Intelligent. Timely. Moving. Enduring. Made For More® is a book of great substance with far-reaching impact. You cannot read this book and not want to be a better person afterwards.” -Dylan Ratigan, New York Times Best-Selling Author, Filmmaker
If you have ever wondered why bad things happen to good people, then Manna Ko’s formerly untold story of childhood physical and sexual abuse, adult domestic violence, anxiety, eating disorders, depression, and loss of all kinds will startle you with its conclusions. Now a sought-after speaker, leadership trainer and business/life strategist, Manna is a modern-day Job and Joseph of the Bible, and a living example that you can have your happily ever after—even against all odds.
“For everyone who’s ever dreamed that there was more out there (or believed in yourself when no one else would), this book may just change everything.” -Phil Cooke, Media and Branding Expert, Filmmaker, Best Selling Author
“How do you describe a force of nature like Manna? Seldom does heaven pack so much into one person.” -Dr. Lance Wallnau, Author, International Speaker, Educator, Entrepreneur

Présentation de l'éditeur
From a Stolen Childhood to a Life of Joy; the Untold Story of Courage, Hope and Triumph
An Autobiographical Novel of Faith and Promise. There are some problems in life that are just too overwhelming to share. At least that’s what “little Manna” believed. Not only could she not explain the things that troubled her, she was too young to even have a vocabulary for most of them. Leah St. John (the hospice patient to whom Manna is now telling her life story) agrees. And though the Manna that unwillingly began sharing the long-locked-away secrets of her life with the irritable and disillusioned old woman is now in her mid fifties, Leah can still sense the little girl she once was. Where is God? Does He exist? Does He care? Does He really talk to us? Does prayer work? Unaware of His divine plan, how can we assume anything but that we are somehow being punished (or forgotten) when we are besieged with adversity? These questions, and more, have stirred the dying Leah St. John as she reconsiders her own life...but she knows, there is something about Manna’s life that will “set her free”. Manna’s story begins in Hong Kong in 1962 and takes her to Canada and eventually the United States. Even though it is a painful story of childhood abuse, adult domestic violence, anxiety, eating disorders, depression, self-loathing and loss of all kinds, it is above all, the breathtaking story of Manna’s relationship with God. He reveals Himself to her in the most unlikely of places—a view from her grandparents’ apartment window, in an elevator on the first worst day of her life…and more. Can nature perform an “on-the-spot” symphony? Can light and warmth find the deepest, darkest, and most terrifying corner of a cellar? When two of the most authoritative people in your life tell you that you are “stupid,” “useless,” and “good for nothing” as a daily mantra for years and years, how can you grow up thinking that you are anything else? That you were "made for more"? To judge our lives before we have seen how it all unfolds, Manna tells Leah, is like reading the first few chapters of a book and then saying how the story is going to end. The pain in our lives may not always make sense, but it is there for a purpose, if we will only keep going – and if we only keep believing. This autobiographical novel is a Pandora’s box of secrets, which is only now, for the first time, being revealed so openly. It is the story of a little girl trapped by culture, convention, rules, societal expectations, abuse of all kinds — and of the woman who had to overcome it all. If you have ever wondered why bad things happen to good people, then Manna Ko’s formerly untold story will startle you with its conclusions. Now a sought-after speaker, leadership trainer and business/life strategist, Manna is a modern day Job and Joseph of the Bible, and a living example that you can have your happily ever after—even against all odds. (*Parents: While the author has tastefully reworked and softened certain stories, the powerful message of hope and triumph could not be conveyed without including certain sensitive topics. Please use discretion when sharing this book with your teenagers.)
