She wants you to know if you’re experiencing a storm in life, that God is still in the miracle-working business.

In The Whole Armor of God: What are You Wearing Today?, Martin describes how someone can be delivered, healed, and set free by the power of God’s word and by putting on the whole armor of God. Her personal insights and experiences serve as inspiration and guidance as you, too, seek to live a life that pleases God. Her personal story illustrates the profound impact that a saving relationship with Jesus Christ can have on a person’s life.
