No matter what season of life you're facing, My Jesus comes alongside you to: - Show how God can bring purpose out of loss - Offer hope in the midst of heartbreak - Remind you that God never abandons you My Jesus will help you discover the beauty that can emerge from suffering as you read Anne's story of growing closer to the God who always makes a way. Praise for My Jesus: "I love how Anne Wilson invites us into the cracks and crevices of her life and how she built her life on Jesus. My Jesus is personal, and it takes you on a journey through some of the most foundational parts of Anne's life that develop into a large picture where it is so clear that God was the artist of it all. As I read through each page, I felt like I was at coffee with Anne, hearing her story." --Sadie Robertson Huff, author, speaker, and founder of Live Original "The song 'My Jesus' has impacted so many of our lives in such important ways. Reading this book, being in the moments with Anne and her family, and hearing her faith rise up when her heart was broken, Anne has told a true and deep story that we all need to read." --Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun
