Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 It can be difficult to keep your mind focused on things above when circumstances here on Earth seem to be specifically aimed at stealing your joy, but nothing we encounter in life is without purpose.

#2 The journey is part of the process. What looks like a delay in getting to the good stuff is an inescapable, necessary leg of the trip. Even Jesus Christ modeled this for us in the book of Matthew, when He went through the process of being baptized.

#3 Before He could begin His public ministry, Jesus was sent on a detour that tested all the limits of the human mind and body. For weeks, Jesus was alone, hungry and thirsty, and tormented by his enemy, the devil.

#4 The same principle is seen in the lives of the mothers and daughters in this book. Their paths may seem wildly off track at times, but God has a purpose in each twist and turn, even the ones we don’t see coming.
