"Healing by His Spirit" by Geraldine D. Bryant...

Book Description:

"Healing by His Spirit is based on a true story which spans a period of more than forty years. It depicts the chain of events that befell a young woman faced with adversity, the one perpetrator she struggled to forgive and the restlessness of her very soul as she came to grips with her innermost fears. It is a heartfelt and emotional story of faith, trust, belief and the miracles God performed in her life which led her to her ultimate sacrifice and redemption. She holds true to the fact that God is very real, especially in a dark and uncertain world. It is the hope that the writing of this book will inspire and encourage others, particularly those who don't know our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, those who are facing serious challenges in their lives...to be made aware...that all is not lost. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. To God be the Glory! Geraldine D. Bryant is an ordinary woman, a recently retired postal service employee and one who has had the opportunity to explore many avenues in her life. A collector of stamps, coins, foreign currency, Capodimonte porcelain and Indian artwork are just a few of her many interests. She has traveled extensively in and outside the United States, as far as Japan and Indonesia, where she met her foster child whom she sponsored through Plan International. At present, she is actively involved in her church work, taking on the responsibility of church secretary, as well as singing on two choirs and a community choir whose members consist of various denominations of Christian faith. Geraldine has one daughter, two grandsons and one grand-daughter. She currently resides in East Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, Pa."

What I liked about this novel...

I was deeply moved from this read that this author gave to the reader. This was some story of all this 'ordinary woman' when through from a young girl to womanhood (over a forty year period). I loved how you were able to see all that she went through with God being right there beside her every step of the way ...from a boyfriend to rape situation, horrible marriage to being alone, dating scene..single to married men and finally coming out of it and honoring a "vow of celibacy." In the end will she learn to forgive? This story will take you to some darkness in this person's life but end the ...'To God be the Glory' for I found her one 'ordinary woman' that God has brought her through it all with her daughter, mother and some dear friends. To get it all I do recommend you pick up "Healing By His Spirit" to see just how well this author brings it all out to the reader. As you read this novel the reader will be left wondering in the end.... will this be all for Geraldine D. Bryant....as "the journey continues?"

I enjoyed this non fiction Christian read. I did find it a little hard reading from it at the beginning but as I was able to get more into this read...I did found it very interesting and captivating so much that I wasn't able to put it down until the end. Would I recommend this non fiction Christian read...."Healing By His Spirit? YES! ( )
