More About the Author

Our family's personal story of triumph over tragedy is used to give God all the praise and glory with the hope that readers will feel encouraged, inspired, refreshed; and that they too can overcome the unthinkable.

Points:
1) God can do far greater things through you than you have ever thought of, dreamed of, or imagined if you allow God and His will to be #1 in your life;
2) Thankfulness is an attitude you choose to have;
3) God still does miracles;
4) All things are possible - even what appears to be the impossible is possible;
5) Keep your eyes totally focused on God lest you become overwhelmed and depressed.

Sit back, laugh and relax while reading this amazing and true story behind the success of award winning author and inspirational speaker, Dawn Hall. With humor, energy and insight she shares her most intimate and personal details of how she triumphed over such tragedies as her husband's brain cancer, two house fires, financial bondage, depression, fighting the government, and the loss of her loving 38 year old husband. "I am an ordinary woman whom God has done extraordinary things through, far greater than I have ever hoped of, dreamed of or imagined! If God can do it through me, He can do it through you, too!"

Without knowing how to type, use a computer or anything about publishing Dawn Hall sold over 650,000 of her self-published cookbooks and won three national awards including 1996, 1998 Best Cookbooks of the Year award by North American Book Dealers exchange, 2000 Pinnacle award. Her amazing story of triumphing over tragedies such as cancer, financial bondage, two house fires and her young husband's death is proof that God is still doing miracles. Her faith, and persistence not to give up trying, is a source of hope, strength and encouragement to anyone who has ever felt down, discouraged, in financial bondage or has been fighting cancer and struggling in life.

This review is from: Busy People's Fun, Fast, Festive Christmas Cookbook (Hardcover)

This book has wonderful low calorie EASY recipes for the holidays. I disagree with a previous review stating they don't have these things in their pantry...well, I always have sugar-free pudding, low-fat coolwhip and many other reduced fat items. I try to cook healthy for my family and these recipes (the ones I have tried) are excellent-if you didn't know they were lower in calorie..you wouldn't know! Worth the price and so easy!
