Broken, My Thorn, My Rose Dawn Renn Gwin

This book got its start in the Heart of GOD being shared with my wife, Dawn. During jail church, she kept seeing a need that wasn't being met in person after person with a "broken" life. She knows of so many who have been through, or, who are in the midst of great trial. Through much prayer for the broken lives all around us, The Lord Jesus compelled Dawn to reach out to these shattered lives; but she knew she couldn't do it on her own. When she sought The Lord for what He wanted for those whose lives are shattered in many pieces, that's when He put the title, "Broken My Thorn, My Rose" in her spirit to write. Dawn thought the book was going to consist of a few poems and devotions; but as she continued to seek The Lord, little by little He began to show her this would be a compilation of true stories/testimonies from several people whom GOD brought from darkness to light; from aloneness to companionship; from life without purpose, to living life with meaning and purpose in the center of GOD's plan. When you read the stories that have come through from all over the world (Uganda, Australia, Kenya, Ghana, England, Republic of Congo, China, Indonesia; along with several all over the United States), and from all walks of life, you will see it truly is "A Small World After All." You will see that trouble troubles us all, not only one culture and race, but all; not just in your own country, your own city, your own neighborhood, your own home, but in all. Then you will find, all around the world, a great big loving GOD, the Creator of all things is deeply and passionately in love with us all and wants to go with us through each situation we face - anywhere and anytime!
