The Rich, the Poor, and the Naked (ePub)

Has life gotten you down? Are you in a situation where you don’t see a way out? Do you wish you could change things but don’t know how? Why does it still hurt? Whether it’s financial, emotional, relational, or other circumstantial reasons, much of life is about making and living with your decisions. This book will show you you’re not alone, and you can overcome bad circumstances and poor choices. God is with you. God made you to love you and have a personal relationship with you. He’s not way out there in space somewhere. He’s right here now, ready for you to reach out to him, ready to lift you out of life’s turmoil and bring you peace. He’s ready to help you find the destiny he created you for.

From her inspiring original artworks, her soaring poetry, and easy-to-read prose, Jean has packed these pages with the stories of twelve women from the Bible who all had to make life-defining decisions under situations similar to what many of us are challenged with every day. Their stories, set against their historical and cultural backgrounds, teach many life lessons all of us can incorporate into our own lives to change the way we think and live right in our own culture today.

These uplifting narratives are interwoven with some of Jean’s personal experiences along similar paths in her own life. Together, they demonstrate that no matter how dire the circumstances or how wretched the lifestyle, there is always hope and redemption freely given by the grace of God to each of us if we ask.
