Ms. Revell offers a clear illustration of God's majestic power in her own life. Rather than use her childhood pain as an excuse to repeat the cycle of abuse or turn against God, she sought His face continually. Glenda came to the awesome realization that God did not forsake her in those darkest times, but rather used the events of her life to draw her ever nearer to Him. Her honesty and openess is clearly a sign of God's working in her life. She is an inspiration and an encouragement for women who have experienced her type of pain. Likewise, women who have not experienced the abuses Glenda Revell endured should also read this book so that they might better serve the women around them who are suffering. It can only lead to a greater understanding and relationship with our Lord and with the women whom we need to minister to.

Glenda writes as if your sitting in the room with her as she is telling you this personal and often times tragic circumstances in her life. However, Glenda makes sure you know that it was all for a purpose. How through it all God's hand was in it. All He allowed to happen to her was to bring her to Himself.

Her testimony will move you to praising Jesus for who He is and thanking Him for His willingness of dying on the cross for us.

I have heard Glenda tell her testimony in person which is even more amazing than reading about it!

I felt very moved by Mrs. Revell's story, and I loved her use of hymn lyrics throughout the book. They married very nicely with her narrative to paint a picture of her journey toward faith in the midst of struggle and God's faithfulness to her throughout some very difficult circumstances. It's a memoir in the truest sense, and as with everything where someone is sharing painful details of past events, this book may not be appropriate for every reader. But if you are someone who is looking for a reminder that God can work good things out of bad experiences, this is a great place to turn. By the end, I felt like Glenda was a sweet and humble friend.

Book in good physical condition, did have a dedication written on the inside cover which was not mentioned, otherwise good quality book.

This is an excellent book and is quick reading! It isn't too grahic but the author shows how a sovereign God works in the lives of His people despite very horrible circumstances! Glenda's Story lifts our hopes and encourages us to persevere that we may glorify God through Jesus Christ.

Glenda's Story is a very inspirational and spiritual memoir. Glenda's Story is a story of hope. I highly recommend reading it, especially those coming out of abusive pasts.

The cover of the book was a bit worn but it didn't hurt the reading of the book.

I loved Mrs. Revell's testimonial book of her life! It showed that through struggles and tragedies God is always there to protect you! I've had the privelage to hear her speak and talk to her. Her book was and is an inspiration to me and to all women!
