In Touch with God

Do you ever pray and say something like, "Why, God, does this still hurt????" or "I try to believe but it looks like things are really going to Hell"??? And then you wait for the answer but it's not very clear? Well, evidently, Marie Shropshire has had those moments too because what she has done with this book is to answer these questions for us in the voice of God.The book is set up as a series of short letters on various subjects. At the top of each page is our voice, asking, for example, on page 12, under the title of Deeply Hurt, "Lord, I didn't know a person could hurt as deeply as I do and still live. How can I go on?" And, then, beneath, the rest of the page is God's answer to us. In this example, He begins, "My child, I know your heart is broken, but trust me, one day at a time. Put your hand in mine. I will lead you through this dark valley."The book is broken down into two sections. First, there's He Leads Through The Valleys, (my example came from that section), which offers help during the hard times, and then, Into His Glorious Light!, which encourages praise and thanksgiving in the good times. My only gripe is that there's no table of contents or index list so you have to leaf through the book to find the topic you're seeking. However, this is a book I'm willing to leaf through. This book is going directly to my bedside table and it will probably become a permanent fixture there with my favorite Bibles. It will be tear-stained and dog-eared in no time. God bless Ms. Shropshire for writing this book.

Everytime I open this book, I find the exact words to speak to my heart and soul on the page my fingers find. Without fail.I am taken aback at this precision, and I thank God for the many times that I have found peace meditating on the words of this book.As titled, In Touch with God, truly speaks to a prayerful heart.

I cary this book with me everywhere I go. I just bought 2 extra copies to give as christmas gifts. When you are hurting, scared, angry, crying or lonely this book is like a dear friend---comforting you with God's words. Thank you Marie for writing this book for me. Joni Ridgell

I needed words to comfort my heart & spirit. I found that through Mrs. Shropshire's books. This book has a unique way of touching the human spirit. I read the book every night, feeling the holy spirit through marie's words. I believe and feel through the words in the book, that the Lord found me when I needed him. Such inspirational words written,can only come through experience. Possibly through her experiences, she has shown the human heart how to stay in touch with the Lord through dark times. The book gave me the hope I needed. It is a must read through any trying time a person may go through. Bravo!! I knew after hearing her words touched by the hand of the Lord, people care even in such hard times. An amazing author was born in Marie Shropshire.
