He Heard Hannah – An Inspiring True Story {and giveaway}

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

I don’t know about you, but when I gather in a group of believers and we all start sharing our testimony and how God has brought us from a life dead in our sin, living in darkness, to a life full of His grace, living in His marvelous light…I always get emotional.

No matter what your testimony holds in it, it is a powerful story of God’s redemption.

He Heard Hannah* is no exception. Included in the pages of this book is a true story of how God brought two families together for His good and His glory. It was exhilarating and encouraging to read.

Nothing quite sums up this story other than the words of co-author Courtney Becker (pg. 169-170),

Each separate story is a beautiful reflection of a loving God, but this story, the story of two families being woven together in God’s sovereignty, provides an unmistakable glimpse of a perfect God who knows all, sees all and acts with divine purpose on our behalf, even without our awareness!

Lynnette Kraft (pictured far left) and Courtney Becker (pictured on the right of Lynnette’s photo) do an amazing job of hooking us in on their story. It is a thrilling ride to take with each turn of the page. It is a story that holds great sadness and grief, but yet the authors understand that all things work together for our ultimate good, and they are sure to continually bring it back to that gospel truth.

While reading this story I was gently reminded that each of us has a story to tell. What is God doing in our life? How is He teaching us? Where has He led us?

I have told one of the stories and journeys that the Lord has brought me through, and I have seen fruit that directly came from my obedience to share. Do you have a story to tell?

As we each tell our story, the Lord uses it for His good in the lives of others. You may never see the fruit of your obedience, or maybe like Lynnette you do. However, take hope in knowing that the Lord will use each of our stories!
