**Lately I have come across some wonderful books that I would like to share with you. I am going to keep my reviews of the books simple and give you a quick glimpse of what the book is about. These books may be helpful to you in whatever trials you or a loved one are going through; you may want to put these books in your church library; or recommend a book to a friend.
"Waiting For His Heart" by Joy McClain
Lessons from a wife who chose to stay
When Joy spoke her wedding vow, she had no idea that for the next 20 years her marriage would be shattered because of her husband's addiction to alcohol. Joy writes about the struggles of being a single mom, financial difficulties, disappointments, but most of all how God spread His everlasting arms under her and carried her through the hard, lonely moments. In the end the redemption that God orchestrated is beyond beautiful and gives hope. What I appreciated about this book is that Joy does not dwell on the horribleness of her life but continued to point to the gracious work of Jesus. Joy uses her gift of writing to encourage those going through this struggle (or those walking along side those with addictions) BUT this book can be for anyone to read, and I heartily recommend it.
