About the Book
The gospel is not a second chance at life, but the invitation to live as one raised from the dead with Christ.
In this personal and hope-filled memoir, Cheryl Young Smith shares her story to remind readers that no matter what they have walked through, they are not beyond the reach of Jesus’ love. With honesty and grace, she reflects on the healing power of His presence and the way He teaches us to love again ... with forgiveness, compassion, joy, and peace reaching even into the darkest memories.
This is a simple yet powerful story of love, transformation, and discovering the life that is already ours in Christ.
