It Had to Happen

By Cynthia Patterson

Have you ever asked yourself why? Why am I having sleepless nights? Why am I still dealing with this hurt, rather than escaping from it? Why do I keep going in and out of so many dysfunctional relationships? Why is everyone coming to you for the answers to their issues and you can’t even figure out your own?

It Had to Happen is an inspiring book that will heal wounds, restore your faith and dramatically change your relationship with God. After carefully retracing your steps, you will be able to identify with the direction you are heading and begin your journey with confidence and faith.

Together you and I will explore the life of a woman in the Bible, who intensely suffered for twelve years, but through determination and perseverance, obtained the help she desperately needed.

As you read and journal after each chapter you'll learn the secrets needed to pursue your purpose and the success of finding out who you are. But most importantly understand that past mistakes simply, Had to Happen!
