Description
Known as "the feisty one," young Barbara will do whatever it takes to protect herself and her younger siblings from the predators in their lives. Her experiences are extraordinary, from countless nights sleeping under a claw foot tub to evade her abuser to witnessing the burning of an interracial couple. Though she was the self-appointed protector of her mother from various abusers, those lessons were not always applied as she pursued her own adult relationships. Yet even when she experienced defeat and despair, she learned she was never defeated. Not In The Fire is for anyone tempted to doubt their usefulness and ability to carry on. Journey with Barbara as she finds that God is not in the fiery events in her life, but in a gentle, silent voice.
Endorsement: This is a book I could not put down when I started to read. After each chapter I keep asking, 'What is happening next to the characters involved?' As a pastor for over 50 years and dealing with many hurting families suffering from physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, the main character in this story is so typical of individuals and families we work with today in pastoral ministry. Author Barbara Austin shares how her faith in the Lord Jesus for daily sustaining help, healing and hope brought her to a better life. Believe me, once you start to read this book, you won't want to put it down.─Pastor David Levandusky, Living Waters Assembly of God, Greenfield, MA., Author of the current third edition of the popular book titled, "The Last Eleven Days of Jesus. Countdown to Passover, Crucifixion and Resurrection. A scholarly resource showing the most accurate Four Gospel Harmony and Chronological order of Jesus Last Eleven Days."
In "Not In The Fire," Barbara Austin opens her heart and shares a devastating account of the unimaginable violence, abuse and injury she has witnessed and endured. But it's also the story of how God can redeem any situation, no matter how heartbreaking, through simple faith and obedience. "Not In The Fire" will be an encouragement for anyone looking for hope and a path to overcoming life's challenges.─David Rhenow, weekday morning host at Life Changing Radio, WSDK, Hartford, CT; former missionary with Trans World Radio on the island of Guam.
