The Journey "Home": Choices in Life and with God

What if the darkest days of your family’s past were the very place God began planting hope for the future? The Journey Home: Choices in Life with God is a powerful true story of one family’s survival through war, persecution, and exile--and the steady presence of God through it all. From a Ukrainian village shattered by communism to a new life in America, Sandra Varney shares her father’s remarkable resilience and the quiet faith that carried them. An excerpt from the book: I have a vivid permanent image that is etched in my memory and heart. It was evening when we finally arrived in our new home in America. The sun was setting and there was an area of shallow water near the edge of the field--a pond with cattails. My father and I were standing there looking across the pond. Being a big man, his 6’2＂ build towered over me, enveloping me in his shadow. I remember holding his hand and looking up at him. With my tiny little hand lost in his huge palm, I remember thinking to myself, ＂You’re big, we will be okay because you’re so big. You are going to keep me safe, and together we will all be just fine.＂ Woven with biblical reflections by Moise Ndjomou, this memoir offers more than history-it’s a testimony of redemption. For Christians who long to see God’s hand in hard places, this story offers both comfort and challenge: He still writes beauty into brokenness.
