About the Book
|
BLESSED!: From Rape to Redemption to Rewards reveals the tragedies of Suzanne’s date rape (in 1960), pregnancy, and forced marriage. Her agony is clear, as is the impact on her family. She also shows the inevitable, but heart-breaking difficulties of the forced marriage, and the resulting divorce.
But God!
Suzanne explains and shows how God was working in her life, even before she became a believer. Through a “freak” accident and a sister living in Hawaii, God moved Suzanne where she met her husband of now more than 55 years and built a wonderful family. Blessings abounded.
And then God!
God then redeemed the son conceived by date rape, using basketball as His tool! This is a gripping story all by itself.
Suzanne’s next encounter with Almighty God’s amazing grace was His using her son to lead her to Christ. The son conceived by date rape was instrumental in her own redemption.
Suzanne explains how she grew in the Lord, and shows readers how they themselves can mature spiritually. The Bible and prayer are fundamental keys, as are other disciplines she learned. She shows how.
Thrilling stories of the joy and results of sharing and serving the Lord follow. Come see the Lord at work.
Now, at 82, Suzanne has ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). This horrible disease to most would be a tragedy. But Suzanne, an ordinary Christian, is not a normal ALS patient. She shows us all how to joyfully live in illness, and how she has new opportunities to serve the Lord. God turned horrors into blessing.
Join her for her journey of living out HOPE (Helping Others Prepare for Eternity).

Reviews

Your life began with a very difficult situation, but you are still walking with the Lord and you are a model of faith. Thank you for sharing your journey.
- Pastor Wayne Cordeiro, New Hope Ranch
Life is a precious gift. Suzanne’s redemption story touches the very heart of God, that starting in the womb we already have inestimable value, and equally important - be told about the ultimate gift - eternal life!
- Janet Hochberg, Former Executive Director Hawaii Right to Life
Inspirational! Her life is a testimony that God can do extraordinary things through ordinary people. God has given her opportunities to meet many prominent people, but she remains humble and gives glory to God for the ability to touch countless lives with the gospel of Christ.
- Morris Isara, Shelley’s Story
