59 Minutes Of Truth and Encouragement

Many of my CandyceLand readers know my favorite authors by now: Nancy Guthrie, Paul Tripp, Alastair Begg, Randy Alcorn, and various Puritan writers. In the past few years I have added a new name to this list: Vaneetha Rendall Risner. I was first introduced to her years ago through GriefShare - she was a contributor to the videos and her story was (is!) so compelling that I purchased her first book, published in 2016, entitled The Scars That Have Shaped Me: How God Meets Us In Suffering. I found it to be so readable, so authentic, so honest about her struggles with faith through many horrible sufferings she has experienced in her life. I have gifted this book to others that needed inspiration and comfort.

Last Tuesday she released her 2nd book, Walking Through Fire: A Memoir of Loss and Redemption.  She also put together a one-hour online event that same evening featuring interviews with Joni Eareckson Tada, Paul Tripp, Randy Alcorn, and someone new to me, Katherine Wolf. Perhaps it was because I had never heard of Katherine that I was particularly blessed by her story of affliction.

Although the video is 59 minutes long, I can assure you that you will not regret listening. Steve and I were blessed watching the live event, but I plan to listen again. I know you all are super busy, but perhaps you can listen while doing the dishes or driving in the car?  There are also a couple of technical issues in this recording, but they are very brief. 

Enough said - I'd rather you spend time with Vaneetha and her friends than read what I have to say!
