For of Such as These: A Child Becomes God's Messenger of Love - Paperback

by Marie Grissom (Author)

Two-year-old Kimberly Dawn knows her exact place in the Grissom family. She is Daddy's little girl, Mom's big helper, and the constant companion and little sister of five-year-old Dirk.

But God has another title and purpose waiting for her.

When Kimberly falls gravely ill, circumstances separate her parents, Dan and Marie, and the family is ripped apart.

In the midst of the heart-wrenching turmoil, Kimberly shares her "Love Story" with everyone she meets, and this beautiful child, who radiates a touch of heaven, draws hurting souls from every walk of life into God's healing presence.

Based on a true event in 1974, Marie Grissom weaves an inspiring and powerfully touching account of God's unfailing love, and provides an intimate look at the struggles with guilt and fear that arise within each of us during times of trouble.

Helpless and alone, she learns in the shadow of darkness that God's forgiveness and compassion toward us is greater than any problem we may face.

For anyone who has ever cried out:
"Why me Lord? What have I done to call down your wrath?"

Find out the answers Marie receives when Jesus bends down to whisper:
"Everything is all right."
