Waiting for His Heart - Book Giveaway!

The other day I was sent to a link to a video by author Joy McClain. When I saw it was ten minutes long I considered shutting it down for later, but the thing is, I couldn't. Within minutes I discovered that her testimony is one I've been strongly impressed to share with you--in particular that God is faithful and that love is patient. 

Joy patiently waited and prayed several years for her husband, never giving up on the hope that he might come to know Christ. The results got me thinking about how many times I've given up on patience instead of holding out for God's plan.

I hope you'll be blessed as blessed by her inspiring testimony as I was.

Now, let's talk about her book! Joy is offering two copies to my readers. Woohoo! If you'd like a chance to win one, please enter through the Rafflecopter gadget below. (Subscribers, click through to the blog to enter).

Waiting For His Heart: Lessons From a Wife Who Chose to Stay

God tells us to love our enemies. But what about loving and honoring a husband who chooses to walk away from his family, setting up residence in a prison of addiction? Seldom is there a faith with the tenacity that Joy McClain displayed during her twenty-two years of praying, enduring tremendous trials and sorrow.

"I will honor my vow, no matter what," were words spoken by this young bride, believing in the promise of new life and vows spoken. The "no matter what" took this family on such a seemingly discouraging journey that even Christian family and friends believed restoration was impossible. Joy learned to place her complete hope in Christ alone, believing that God's mercy and grace is sufficient to reach even the darkest and most hardened heart - including her own.

A beautiful, transparent portrait of redemption as marriage is viewed as a living, breathing example of Christ and His bride. Readers will be encouraged and equipped to persevere through deep marital waters.
