About this ebook
It is February of 2000, and Arthur and Valencia Todd and their twelve-year- old daughter, Lindsy, are living very happily—until Valencia receives a life- changing phone call. Life deals her a crisis that requires a miracle of biblical proportion.
Six months later, Valencia’s life is still in shambles. As she walks on a path lined with grief, frustration, illness, and loneliness, Valencia is too frightened to seek help from doctors, on whom she quietly blames her mother’s premature death. As she prays for answers, nothing seems to heal her persistent medical condition, prompting Valencia to plummet down a dark tunnel of despair. Desperate for answers, Valencia draws inspiration from the worn pages of her mother’s Bible, fueled by an unyielding determination to find healing. But three years later, as she is led to the doors of a holistic center where she believes she will finally be helped, Valencia helplessly watches as her life disintegrates once again—completely unaware that the Holy Spirit is waiting to comfort her.
’Til the Last Drop is the inspirational story of one woman’s journey to the truth as she learns to listen to her heart, never give up, and, above all, trust in God.
“One of the most powerful pieces you will read ...”

Reviews for 'Til the Last Drop
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this story. It is one very fast read, and once you start you won't stop until it is finished. It made me feel loved, and blessed. God is so good.We find the pressure of an illness putting such a strain on a marriage. We also find perseverance and the laying of God's hands. You see the obstacles Satan puts our ways, but God's Angles are ever vigilant. Loved the people who were put in Valencia's and Lindsy's path.Never give up and with God all things are possible. Such a wonderful inspiration. Throughout the book I keep thinking of Luke 8:40-49.Don't miss this one, it is so good!I received this book through Orangeberry Promotions, and was not required to give a positive review.

About the Author
I ntroduction
To read a story about someone’s life from the Bible is one thing, but to actually feel like you are living it is another. What would you do if one day your life became that story?
What you are about to read is based on authentic events.
Prelude
The almighty Father stormed into the room as a mighty rushing wind. As His very presence passed by, each servant stood at attention as they lined His pathway. Gabriel followed Him very closely and spoke: Lord, I don’t understand.
The Father stopped midway and turned to Gabriel and gave a declaration. The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this. It is warfare, Gabriel. Remember the Law of Moses, My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

The Father continued toward His seat. He sat in heaven exasperated. He turned and looked at His Son, who was looking down at Earth. Son, what seems to have your attention?
Father, come look at this,
the Son said as He stood gazing down toward Earth at Arthur and Valencia Todd and their daughter, Lindsy Todd.
The Father walked over, joined His Son, and together they looked down at the Todd family.

Arthur walked backward and entered the room filled with kids. He carried a beautiful white and pink cake for his daughter’s twelfth birthday. He turned around with the biggest smile on his face as he glanced at his wife, Valencia. He signaled to her with a nod to come alongside him as he started to sing Happy Birthday.
As they approached the table, the room filled with the voices of innocent
