Book Description

If you have ever felt like giving up, or that life is too hard, this book is for you. It will encourage you to not give up on God; it will strengthen your ability to see God's hand upon your life, and it will inspire you to cling to the Lord through every storm that comes your way. For a young Nigerian girl named Happiness, life's journey became almost unbearable. She endured refugee status in the Biafra War, an arranged marriage to a man she had never met, being smuggled across the U.S.-Mexican border, experiencing the toll of a physically and mentally abusive husband, standing in food lines, and living in a homeless shelter. Through it all, Happiness learned to draw closer to God and today owns her own business and understands her life's purpose. This is a compelling story of the power of destiny on a life surrendered to God, and what amazing things God will do, if we just trust him. Douglas S.
