Know what I mean? I will read Kim's book, I know she's been through Mega-trials too.<br /><br />Hi Suzie,<br />Hope you had a great Labor Day. I'm glad my post ministered to you and I pray you have a wonderful week.<Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-34413871521431641862009-09-08T03:33:04.159-04:002009-09-08T03:33:04.159-04:00Thank you Jill for the encouraging words.

I learned a lot by reading Kim Woodhouse's book, Woodhouse Family, Welcome Home. If you get a chance, Jill, check out my blog and the post about Kim's book. Talk about a woman who has gone through trials. Similar to yours with your daughter.

Now I see why it is a classic. The concepts are sufficiently anchored in the Word that they can minister across barriers of time and culture.

I know how much this means to you as you chose this so quickly when we first discussed a non-fiction theme. <br /><br />It has been such a pleasure to get to know you better.
