Description

This book provides a narrative of the author's journey of faith, including the triumphs over many trials experienced throughout her life.

“Hungering After God” describes how, even as a little girl, the pages of the big Bible at home helped to quench the thirst of her soul. Even though she would attend the community church and professed to be saved, the deep longing of her soul was not satisfied. After her marriage and the birth of her first child, she began to listen to a radio preacher that resulted in an indescribable sorrow for her sin. This resulted in going into her bathroom, getting on her knees, and asked for forgiveness. She felt light as a feather, like she was going to sprout wings and fly. This created a strong desire to witness to others about her new-found faith.

“Walking In the Light” describes the author's early evolution in her Christian experience. Even though she was discouraged from continuing her Christian experience, she refused to let anything daunt her spirits. She describes her burden of providing restitution for money that she had failed to pay for long distance calls while employed as a telephone operator and her concerns about possibly getting some of her former work colleagues in trouble. She trusted in God to get through this experience and he did not fail her.

In “How God Led Her to a Church”, she provides insight into her discovery of a church that would shape the rest of her life. She conveys her burden and commitment to tithe, in spite of possible concerns from her husband, who was not a Christian at that time.

In “God's Lesson on Doing the Little Things”, she discusses her progression on doing little things for God's benefit even though she was busy as a mother and wife. She discovered that speaking a kind word to whoever crossed her path, visiting the sick and elderly, helping widows and orphans, and listening to the leading of God were sufficient to make an impact. Her poem, “The Little Things” vividly demonstrates how the initiative of Granny in helping Johnny the drunkard and bum, a get well card to Mary, a hospitalized patient, from someone who could not visit the hospital, and farmer Brown's kindness to his mean neighbor, Mr. Smith, paid dividends and led to new Christian experiences.

In “Hungering After Holiness”, the author relates her pursuit of a fuller experience of holiness in spite of her earlier Christian conversion. This led to a fuller Christian experience of “sanctification”.

In “How God Led in Getting Our Children to Christian Schools”, the author recites her experiences and challenges in achieving a Christian education for her children. Despite the cost, distance, and resultant loneliness, several of the children were able to receive Christian education in a distant state. For the younger children, she was able to locate a local Christian school with high standards that led to a quality Christian education.

In “God Promises Protection for Our Travels”, she provides some details on some of the family travels, especially for church-related activities, and how numerous challenges were overcome by ongoing faith in God.

In “Little Nathaniel”, the author discusses the sickness and death of a grandchild, the emotional impact on the family, and how God provided grace to the family to deal with this tragedy. Her memorial poems written on the yearly annivesary of her grandson's death are included.

In “God's Call to Minister to Rest Home Residents”, the author describes her calling to minister to senior residents in rest homes. She continued this ministry for over 30 years until her death.

In “Other Experiences and Answers to Prayer”, she recites a few other experiences where her faith and her Christian commitment definitely played a role in the eventual outcome.

In “Conclusion”, Georgia McCain includes her poem, “Look to the Saviour”, which is thematic for the entire book. Regardless of the trials, look to the Saviour for redemption and triumph.
