Preface

T he Marriage God Put Back Together , tells the author’s story of suffering she endured that began in her childhood, after her father lost his life in a house fire in May of 1944.

In her autobiography, Evangelist Wilma Sanders shares how with God’s help, she grew from a child to a young woman and endured the dark and agonizing conditions of a marriage many believed had become hopeless.

The author tells her story of the beginning of the first marriage in August 1957, and how it ended in a heartbreakingly, bitter divorce. We follow along in her memoirs as she recounts how in December of 1969 at the direction of God’s Holy Spirit, she and her young children moved from Louisville, Kentucky to Columbus Ohio, having only her faith in God to guide her. Forced to endure emotional suffering, sickness, surgery, and the burden of having raise her children alone, she tells of how she held fast to faith until God touched the heart of her ex-husband, John.

The Marriage God Put Back Together is a powerful testimony of God’s ability to reconcile any marriage. It is the beautifully told, true account of how God’s saving grace rescued a marriage and a family desperately in need, because of the faith of a woman committed to serving Him.
