Grasshopper among the Giants Lois Austin

Have you ever felt like a grasshopper surrounded by giants? When you understand your identity in Jesus Christ, God will shatter this mindset and remind you of your worth. Grasshopper among the Giants is a spiritual autobiography as well as a physical autobiography, showcasing the transformative moments in author Lois Austin's life. Born to Kansas farmers in 1946, Austin lived under the open country sky, whose vastness could make one feel the limitlessness of possibilities. However, dealing with physical malformations since birth made it difficult for a young Austin to believe that she could embrace these possibilities. Like the spies sent out in the Book of Numbers, she felt like a grasshopper in a world of giants that seemed unconquerable. However, an encounter with Jesus Christ changed Austin's outlook, and His incredible grace and strength empowered her to walk into a future full of opportunity to live her life to her God-given potential. As a teacher, wife, mother, and grandmother, Austin has lived a life that emphasizes the wonder of Jesus and the depth of His love. Austin shares her entire story from her own viewpoint, although from another's viewpoint, it may be a somewhat different story. Even in the four gospels, four different witnesses share separate accounts of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Austin's testimony will inspire you to appreciate your own perspective of your life story and what God has taught you through it. Grasshopper among the Giants is an encouraging testimony of the love and saving grace that Christ provides. He will lift up the lowly, show strength in the weakest, and bless your heart through Austin's story.
