Reseña del libro "Lessons from the Fire: Kicking and Screaming from Fear to Faith (en Inglés)"
That night, in bed, after my husband had fallen asleep, I was crying as usual--terrified and unable to sleep . . . I literally felt like I couldn't breathe.As I trembled all over, I tapped Dwayne's back and said, "Dwayne, you have to wake up. Please, wake up."He sleepily turned over, and mumbled, "What's the matter?"I was crying so hard, I'm sure he could barely understand me as I said, "I don't want to die."He said, "You're not going to die. Why are you so afraid? The doctors haven't told you that you're dying. You're just sick. Why are you so scared?""Because I keep thinking about you and the boys!" I cried. "I don't want to leave you alone without me!"After a few seconds of silence, I heard him sigh, then, as he turned his back toward me, he said softly, "I've got news for you. You've left us already."Many wonder if real Christians can, or should, experience depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. I mean, aren't we supposed to have faith, and trust in God? In Lessons from the Fire, Hanks exposes her most private struggles, from her eating disorder, through years of severe anxiety and depression, to her lifelong battle with ever-changing fears. Hanks delves deep in an attempt to reveal the power of the spirit-mind battles that we all face. From the perspective of one who clung fi ercely to her faith in Christ during fiery trials and darkest nights, Hanks shares the lessons learned from a God who never leaves or forsakes His own.
