Just Enough Light for the Step I'm on

What a remarkable experience!Ms. Ormartian started so simply that I thought at first I reading a bit of a "fluff" book. I was reading along and I noticed that the challenge to trust God each and every moment of my life was increasing.Then she got to the part about how I must relinquish my dreams to the Lord in order Him to show me His plans. She was not talking about the unrealistic dreams that children have, but the real dreams - the ones that are so "normal" that everyone takes them for granted - until they don't happen or they fall apart. She points out that God may even have the same dreams for me that I have for myself, but in order to truly live them out, I must first be able to give them up with no expectation of achieving them and trust that whatever God brings into my life will be what is best. Ms. Ormartian's candor and honesty made her a fellow struggler rather than a lofty instructor - similar to what Jesus did when he actually lived this life rather than just viewing it from heaven. God brought this book into my life at a time when I most needed it, but there is no time when it will not bless the reader's life. Highest recommendation!!

"Just Enough Light" was given to me as a gift after a freak accident where I broke both of the bones in my lower leg and became immobilized with a long leg cast and confined to a wheelchair. I am a healthcare executive and my life runs at a hectic pace. The inability to walk was truly "crippling"! I had no idea how I was going to survive this tragedy! Then I started to read Stormie Omartian's book. It became my morning devotions. The Prayer Light and Footlights sections were perfect to help me focus on God's will in my life and helped me to be patient (not a strong suit for me!) I recommend this easy and quick read book to anyone who is struggling with "tough times" in their life. You will find your own personal situation on the pages of this book and find strength. One of the best books I have ever read. It has helped me find the "light" to get through my healing process.

I highly, highly recommend this book for anyone who has a recent broken heart from any circumstance. My circumstance is a broken engagement. I could not have gotten through this situation first without the help of the Lord and second without the words of wisdom, prayers, and encouraging bible verses Stormie sets fourth in this book. This book will help you through a brake up, a divorce, a death, a sickness, a lost job or career for that matter. I really encourage anyone who is going through a rough time to read this book. I promise it will encourage you!

Stormie writes the truth about what goes on when people face trials in their lives and what is needed to experience victory in that time. A very real, warm and encouraging book, it also speaks directly about core issues that most people face. Most importantly, Stormie has backed her writing with the Word of God. The verses quoted from the Bible helps the reader apply them to his/her own situation...many verses in fact have taken on new meaning, from the way Stormie has picked them and used them. Stormie has also relied on the power of prayer to help write this book, as is gathered from the prayer warriors mentioned in her acknowledgement. A really good book to read if you are in search of God's light and truth in the midst of your trials
