"When Your All Is Not Enough"

- A Tale of Two Lovers

About the Book

The book 'When your all is not enough' is one that speaks volumes to various sets of people, and these include:

-       Those with unanswered questions in their hearts

-       Those who are in the valley of confusion

-       Those who at various crossroads, contemplating which direction to turn

-       Those who have suffered unexpected and unimaginable disappointment

-       Those who major in the minor and vice versa

-       Those who love knowledge and would love to impart others

-       Those in the counselling ministry to help people with varying challenges.

In this book, the above sets of people will find solace, draw strength, grace, inspiration, encouragement and discover treasures that will help them navigate the difficult different stages of life and ultimately accomplish their eternal purpose.

 

The focus of the book is an interesting one, which will require the help of the Holy Spirit to unravel and understand. I employ all readers to allow the Spirit of the LORD to guide them as they navigate through the book. Truly, in life and in various spheres of influence, there are times when your all is not enough, and you come to terms with this reality. How do you move on when you are faced with this fact? The author of this book explained things succinctly, and I believe you will find it very inspiring to read.
