Finding Purpose In Adversity: A Story of Survival, Hope, Redemption, Life Lessons, and God's Unearned Grace. Shannon McAteer

Do you struggle with finding your purpose in life? Have you been abused or mistreated in your life by loved ones and others? Do you feel hopeless, unseen and unloved? My life was a hopeless mess of abuse, lack of direction and struggle. With the help of God, I went on a journey to find hope, love and my unique purpose. You can too!In this book you will learn: - The heart of God and what God wants from you and for you.- How God can work through your difficult life to find purpose.- How, with God's help, you can turn your bad decisions into something better. I use the backdrop of my troubled life as a testimony of how God can work good things through the ugliness in this world. God worked through my troubles and bad decisions to make me a better person and to find success where the probability of success was very low. This book is my story of how God's grace and love was given to me when I did not deserve it.
