About the Book
Glimpses of Grace in Georgia is an incredible true story of how Amanda and her family were taken from suburban America and brought into the heart of a former soviet, third-world country during a time of economic turmoil and political instability. In this exciting memoir, Amanda outlines the struggles of living in a foreign country and how God miraculously provided for her family during this dark time.
"Sometimes God doesn’t change your situation because he’s trying to change your heart."
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
Source of My Inspiration: My Journals
In 2014, I rummaged through several storage boxes looking for a hidden treasure that I had packed away almost ten years prior. Somewhere deep inside, I found what I was looking for... My old journals.
I was looking for one in particular, but found four! I read them all cover to cover... I laughed, I cried, I felt things I hadn’t felt in almost fifteen years. Then I came across a journal entry towards the end of our three years in Georgia:
I don’t know why God allowed me to go through these things, maybe I’m supposed to write a book about it someday, to help out young girls just like me.
This book is the fulfillment of that God-given dream. My deepest desire for you, my reader, is to be blessed and to experience God's grace through the retelling of this story.
