Mothers who deliver babies in the same hospital on the same day sometimes form a connection. They may not see each other for the next three years, but then they show up at the same pediatrician’s office and instantly strike up a conversation. Going through such an intense process at the same time simply creates a bond. It is something like men who go to war together, I expect.Sharon Garlock Spiegel and I have a similar bond. Our babies, born in the same two-week season, are not flesh and blood. (Though they sometimes feel that way.) Instead, they are books. And though mine is pure fiction, and Sharon’s is a true history, they carry the same message.
Prayer works. And Jesus saves.
In Generations, Sharon traces the spiritual roots of her family back to a drunken forefather. His transformation started an amazing chain of events. If you need reminded that one person’s life can make a difference, read this story of hope, faith, and a family tree that bears real fruit.
When Edward Garlock was sober, he was a kind, hard-working farmer providing for his wife and eight children, but drinking transformed him into a bully, capable of absolute cruelty. When he stepped into a revival tent in the early 1999’s the Holy Spirit got ahold of him, changing not only his life, but thousands of others through Edward. This true story of a family’s troubled past will leave you breathless at the depravity of human nature and amazed at the power of Divine intervention.
Breaking the generational curse! This looks like a great book.
