In a prison of hope; I was battling spiritual warfare landing in psychiatric hospitals suffering breakdowns, bi-polar depression and failed marriages. After the loss of my maidenhood; trauma as a youth served as the root cause of these episodes. Jesus miraculously healed my brokenness in his perfect timing, which I thought would never be possible. Oh, God's amazing grace sought me through. His mercy forever rings, bringing me sheer joy and peace, that I take pleasure in rejoicing and growing in his love and greatness. Unknowingly, a devoted, caring doctor had my back. Somehow, by God's divine intervening, he brought me in my rightful place to turn trusting Jesus or else...I'll end up falling prey to Satan's tactics by disobeying God. To my dismay, the reality of it all left me grieving, since I fell in love with this genuine surgeon. Are you feeling lost, hopelessness, regret, or even doubt? This memoir uplifts with humor spurring moments, to your God-given destiny without roadblocks. God's love never fails or forsakes. My dreams came to pass with my husband Kenneth. His love and strength helped me gain courage after the Lord took my close Mom and beloved sister home in 2015. My family and friends shed their light upon me by their love, support, and set example, making all the difference in my livelihood. My daughter's love always puts a smile in my heart. With the eye of faith believing in God's promises, she will surpass any bondage that binds her, to restoration in the name of Jesus. His truth shall prevail. My therapist saw in me, what I could not see clearly within myself, for the exceptional woman I am today. No longer am I a label; my identity rests assured in Christ Jesus alone. "Love Lifted Me"

Few recent Christian thinkers have been as widely influential as John Howard Yoder (1927-1997). Encompassing a teaching career of more than thirty years and such landmark publications as 'The Politics of Jesus', Yoder's life and thought have profoundly impacted students and colleagues from a broad range of disciplines. In the words of Stanley Hauerwas, Yoder is probably the major theologican/ethicists of this half-century in America and certainly the leading Mennonite theologian of the twentieth century. 'The Wisdom of the Cross' is the only book to provide valuable secondary essays engaging Yoder's central theological concerns, together with a biographical reflection on his life and legacy. Written by scholars both from within and outside of Yoder's Mennonite community, these essays develop the most significant aspects of Yoder's thought - from his powerful defense of Christian pacifism to his seminal analysis of the politics of Jesus to his challenging contributions to Christian social ethics, ecclesiology, and theological method. The book also includes a previously unpublished essay on moral absolutes by Yoder himself. A fitting tribute to Yoder's distinguished career, this volume will be useful to readers new to Yoder's work and to those wishing to probe more deeply into the implications of his thought.
