| Publisher Description: What happens when you mix faith in Jesus, a longing to serve in China, and moving to Israel with a dysfunctional family, abuse and the death of your dreams? Dvora responded to the call of her heritage, moved to Israel, developed a successful career, and had a fruitful ministry among Chinese students...but her internal world was fractured. She married at 52 and became a widow at 55. Would trusting in God really be enough? Well-acquainted with grief and loss, author Dvora Elisheva writes with courageous honesty about her life experiences and her relationship with God. Her story has many "dots" of hope, mercy, and grace. Connecting these dots reveals a grace-filled perspective on hurt, disappointment, and grief. Dvora invites you into her journey. Together you will connect the dots of her seemingly disconnected life. Her hope is that you too will connect the unique dots of your own life and like her, you will discover a faith in God that brings it all together. Connecting the Dots of a Disconnected Life is a captivating true story of a fractured life, transformed by grace. The printed copy includes a short discussion guide to encourage a deeper look at the various issues touched upon in her story. |
