'Some people are so real and easy to talk to, exchanges with them are heart to heart and so you are not only connecting but you are changed by that connection, this is Anita. In these pages Anita will share her story, you will feel understood deeply, you will be touched by Jesus and inspired to pursue him and you will be changed. Anita is authentic; she truly lives the life she encourages us to find.'--Debby Wright, Senior Pastor of Trent Vineyard 'Anita's searing description of the grief, guilt and heartbreak she has endured confronts us with the horror of suffering, and yet this is a book that pulsates with life and hope. Her testimony will surely help those facing their own personal darkness to discover the light of Christ and inspire many to a life of adoring, trusting, radical discipleship. Anita writes beautifully--I was moved to tears at times.'--Vaughan Roberts, Recotr of St Ebbes Church, Oxford 'I am so grateful Anita has been able to recommission this important and moving story for a new generation hungry to find the realness of God in the middle of the realness of life's struggle. Anita and Charlie remain so soft-hearted and deeply committed to being followers of Jesus over the long-haul, and their commitment to investing in young adults has been a real gift to the Church more widely over the years. To have such a story that disciples the reader in God's presence in the suffering and pain that inevitably comes with being human and walking life's road is vital. This is especially powerful for those who might have been taught more about God's wonderful plans and dreams for our lives, and less about the reality of disappointment and the resilience of faith in the midst of the dark that is also true. Thank you for how you live your life, Anita, and thank you for sharing some of it with us in this book.'--Miriam Swaffield, Global Student Mission Leader for Fusion Movement 'Anita writes with a burning honesty about the hardest experience of her life yet her book is filled with compassion, wisdom, grace and hope.'--Steven Croft, Bishop of Oxford
