While Bednar shares his childhood memories like the time his mother wrapped her empty cigarette packages to put under the Christmas tree, he also introduces the nine Ms and the inspirational story of Merrick, a brother and priest-in-the-making whose profound health crisis not only strengthens his own faith, but also the fabric of his entire family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This true story-often hysterical, at times heartbreaking-gives testimony to the inseparable family bond, the incredible power of perseverance and prayer, and the life-sustaining gifts of faith, hope, and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 14, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48813517275384,"sku":"9781440155109","price":40.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/fiqLRVeDj39781440155109.webp?v=1780555833","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/nine-ms-and-a-mother-like-no-other-our-journey-from-messed-to-blessed-hardcover","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
