About the Book:

By New York Times bestselling author and pastor Jim Cymbala, The Rescue tells the powerful, true stories of men and women whose lives should have ended badly but miraculously didn't. Something unexpected happens to each of them and their incredible stories will take you by surprise and restore your hope.

My Thoughts:

We live in such a cynical, angry, and jaded world right now.  It is difficult to stay encouraged and to have hope when everything appears so bleak.

"The Rescue" by Jim Cymbala (with Ann Spangler) tells the true stories of seven people who were rescued in ways that can only be attributed to God. This little book provides hope and evidence that God is still on the move, despite what we see all around us.

Lawrence Punter was the little boy no one loved.  He ended up alone, sleeping in alleys on filthy mattresses and feeling his life wasn't worth anything. But God showed up for Lawrence and transformed his belief about himself and gave him a platform to share his story with those trapped by those same feelings.

Robin makes her home in Israel and is the granddaughter of Jewish immigrants who fled the persecution and destruction of Russia.  Today, her life is filled with joy and purpose and hope.  But she has a story of darkness and despair that dogged her until God came and blew those clouds away.

Five more people share their incredible stories of being rescued by the God who sees, the God who moves mountains, and the God who restores.  I enjoyed read "The Rescue" and I think you will as well.  That's why I'm sending my thanks to the publisher for my copy with nothing promised in return, and giving this book four out of five stars.
