Through her lessons learned and the new perspectives she shares, the author offers readers an opportunity to deepen their own spiritual walk.

Whether you are in a season of wilderness or are seeking a fresh perspective on your relationship with God, the wisdom and experiences shared in these pages will inspire and encourage you on your own journey.

May you, too, find peace, joy, and a deeper connection with the Creator as you read.

""Dr. Meryl James-Sebro takes her readers on a soul-stirring exploration and transformative spiritual journey through the wilderness of life.

""She charts a path forward in the search for purpose and a deeper meaning of life. Marshalling her own experiences, she makes the point that wildernesses will be successfully navigated, not in one's physical strength or religious observances, but in relationship with the triune God.

""Join James-Sebro on this journey to the true source of empowerment, wholeness, and real fulfillment.""

With candor and vulnerability, she weaves a memoir that brings tears but also encouragement and empowerment to those facing similar circumstances.
