Does Grace Grow Best in Winter

The following came at the tail end of an update e-mail from a friend whose husband has been in critical condition in the hospital for two weeks. I wanted to pass along her book recommendation:

From Ligon Duncan in Does Grace Grow Best in Winter: “Remembering the mystery of God’s providence redirects our attention from why to God. Though we seek comfort in answers to our question of why we suffer, God brings us comfort by answering the question of who is working mysteriously in our suffering.”
(I highly recommend you get and read this book – as C.J. Mahaney says on the front “If you are presently suffering, this book is for you. And if you are not, this book is still for you.” Steve and I are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that preparation for suffering comes in the “easy” times of life, so make the most of those times by preparing to suffer. You will be filled with joy and God will get glory in your trials if you suffer well for Him!
Praising Him for His continued grace—
Sara

About Wemmick Girl Saved by Grace

Natalie Klejwa is a child of the King, saved by the blood of Jesus, wife to Joe, and mama to Sam 17, Phillip 15, Aimee 11, Tim 9, Stephanie 7, Katie 6, Jennie 3, and Peter 1…and “someone special” due in March of 2012!

She loves a good book, dark roast coffee, writing, music, sewing, soaping, eating good food, and educating her children in their home. Natalie is the creator of Apple Valley Natural Soap, which gives her children an opportunity to earn money at home and expand their own entrepreneurial endeavors. It also supports the Visionary Womanhood blog and pays her book bill every year.

Passionately believing in the sovereignty of God and the sufficiency of Scripture for all of life, she has rejected the Wemmick culture box and prefers the ancient paths found in the Word of God. Natalie taught high school English when she was single and has been discipling women for 25 years through full time campus ministry, personal mentoring, writing, and Bible studies. More recently, she is the founder of Visionary Womanhood Gatherings in the Twin Cities area, which began almost five years ago, and she is also the administrator of the Visionary Womanhood blog, while currently working on an e-book: Visionary Womanhood Gatherings: A Family Strengthening Mentorship Tool for Women and Maidens.
