“The Triumph of My Soul is a wonderful collection of stories and anecdotes from various authors we know and love. I was captivated by the realness that I could feel through the pages; as they described a variety of emotions and struggles experienced by each. These heartfelt stories filled me with so many feelings that I just had to laugh, cry, breath and rejoice. This is a must read. These stories are filled with encouraging, motivational, inspirational and strengthening words. You can feel the power of God through the pages as you travel from one story to another, you will never feel alone or unwanted; but you will complete this book feeling relieved and joyous. I could go on and on shouting the praises for this wonderful collaboration of fine tales, but I will let you decide, do not walk but run and grab a copy for your bedside. Two of my favorites were:
Julian’s Grace by Jessica Tilles gave way to a gut-wrenching tale of unconditional love. Julian wrestled with the fear of living without the love of his life, but turned it over to God and shared her last moments enjoying each other. A true love story that will have you crying, grieving, and feeling overjoyed with love.
Discovering the Joy Within by Allison Deese is a story of a teenage mother, who is in an abusive relationship. Struggling with her abusive boyfriend and dealing with the pending birth of her first set of twins has this teen’s wheels spinning. But will one more blow knock the wind out of her sails? Will the love of her babies take away the constant pain that she is living with?
These are real stories that will make you cry, beg for forgiveness, and praise God for bringing you through it! You will want to refer back to a couple of the stories because they are so real, that you can relate to each of them in some form or fashion. Can I say that this book makes me want to REJOICE! And be exalted!
