In This World

Johnnie L. Stone's first book, In This World, is an extraordinary story that begins on a dark, hopeless night in the life of a little girl who desperately cries out for God's mercy and intervention. The story follows her life from that night forward. Because of desperation and fear, the light of her soul was dimming, but then she was rescued. Escape is a great thing, but memories and the mind itself can be its own form of entrapment . . . The child's life exemplifies the power of God's love and how he can turn a world that is fraught with dysfunction and adversity into instrumental opportunities to forge a beautiful eternal bond between himself and his children-revealing his perfect plan for their lives. The author is a wife, mother, teacher, and child of God. She is also a survivor. She was put into foster care as a child and was eventually adopted. Everyone has a story to tell. This is hers.
