Deb and Steph trust that this honour will open even more doors for them to point others to the Lord Jesus, the Source of their hope, strength, and salvation.
Living Beyond My Circumstances is for anyone who is facing life’s challenges and desires to “go for the gold.”
As Deb said in her speech on June 13th,
“This book and award is dedicated to Jesus Christ, my Saviour and Lord. Without Him, my life and this book would be meaningless.
I would like to thank Steph helped put my ideas into words, my parents who have encouraged me to live life and to Larry & Marina for getting this story published.”
For His Glory.
Steph, Larry & Marnia with Deb.
