Author's Debut Speaks to Hearts of the Abused, Broken, Lonely

Book will restore readers' faith in God amidst traumatic life situations

Longwood, FL (PRWEB) April 3, 2008 -- There are those who have been rejected, emotionally broken, and who have never known a father's love. Xulon author Pat K. Braswell's debut book, Through the Fires - God gives hope to those people who are searching for healing in God's Word and desiring a personal relationship with their Savior. The author says it is when we face the most difficult times of our life we understand what the true meaning of Isaiah 43:2 is: "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned: neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." When the enemy heats the furnace the hottest, that is when God will prove His power to be the strongest in our lives.

Says Braswell, "God is there regardless of what you face in life and no matter how difficult the situation. (Readers will find) hope and true understanding for their life with God. I have experienced this hope restored in my own life over and over again."

A Christian for 51 years, the author has watched God come to her rescue every time she walked through the fire--and she has emerged the stronger for it. She believes her book will speak to the heart of everyone who has ever been abused, broken, and left to deal with the issues of life--and that it is relevant for this hour, when so many people are feeling rejected by man. "God is a faithful Father," she says. "God is there when everything is wrong."
