Fighting Fear: Winning the War at Home devotional book

A Note from Susie May: When I was reading this devotional, I thought of how helpful it might be, not just for those who have loved ones deployed, but for those with any family away from home.  (and I thought of my parents, when we were missionaries).  A powerful devotional to help in every challenge of life – a reminder that God is always there, always holding us.  Edie’s writing will minister to those seeking peace in challenging times.   About the Book: Having a son at war was not something Edie Melson ever thought she’d have to face.

We seem to stagnate in our dreams as week after week, chapter after chapter, conference after conference, time seems to pass us by. We watch others catapult to superstar status at writing conferences where the published authors gather to talk industry and the pre-pubbed gather to dream. The one thing all of them have in common is there are potential opportunities swirling around them at every moment. The thing that distinguishes many people is recognition of those opportunities. “But wait, Tiff!! I’m working hard!” I know you are. Don’t worry. I’m not criticizing. I’m coaching.
