Purchased this book with an absolute interest in the author's telling of her story. She is an excellent story-teller. I worked in PA with her husband for a few years and heard all the cool stories about their family and their living in Alaska and even spent time with the author and her family and saw her sweet spirit and gifts of hospitality firsthand at an Easter Picnic she hosted at their beautiful home there. Didn't realize how awful things were in her early years - and am amazed to learn how God helped her overcome them and not turn bitter or resentful - instead she's a strong advocate for God's unconditional love and she wanted to share that with everyone. There were a few grammatical and syntax errors, but overall the story is compelling and overlooking those things was easy. I was left with the reminder God loves me and to not judge others since we don't know where they are in their journeys and just being kind is always the right answer. If you'd like a glimpse into the heart of a woman who has overcome many difficulties in life and come out with an absolute love of God and trust in Him to redeem it all, you will want to read this book. I would have liked more pictures like the before and after of their Alaskan home…maybe in her next book?

"My Walk with Jesus" from Christian Faith Publishing author Dawn Rennhack is a compelling discussion of the author's most shaping life experiences with a message of hope for others that have found themselves in times of trouble.
Rennhack shares, "My Walk with Jesus is an inspirational walk through the author's life trials and tribulations. The stories are riveting and, best of all, there is always an encouraging statement of how faith and prayer were the way the author made it through and how we, the readers, can as well.
"It is amazing how when one looks back on the events of life, we see how God's presence carried us through. Faith is a universal theme in the book as well as a theme in life in general. Without faith, it is difficult to imagine how the ups and downs of life could be tolerable. The author makes the point over and over again about how her faith got her through great trials in her life.
"The power of prayer is also evident in this book. How many parents have not had the moment when you just have to leave the room? The power of a few moments of prayer impacts both the parent and the child. It gives the frustrated parent the opportunity to breath and redirect frustration to prayer, and it impacts the child who benefits with a parent who's a bit calmer and more centered.
"Many resources are included throughout this self-help/inspirational book that will be terrific for the reader who is on the search for ways to better navigate life. The Bible is such a dynamic, living book that teachings and verses within its covers can help us out of any situation. It also reminds us that God is ultimately in charge and He has the strength and endurance we lack at times.
"Fantastic work! Well worth the read and the resources included. -Laurie Thomas"

A great look into a personal journey. It’s the authors story of God working through her life, but really impactful for looking back to see how God works in your own life as well. Highly recommend!

I absolutely loved this book. It gives you the true aspect of why God was and is so important in the authors life but also how God would benefit you in your life. This book deserves 5 stars, and every book the author writes.

I have read this book from cover to cover. What a life lived, all the turmoil and hurdles and able to come out the other end with a positive outlook on life.
