My Jesus by Anne Wilson

 

“Whatever you are feeling, God can handle it—all of it. The tears, screams, and questions. God invites you to let Him tend to your heart.”

Whether you are facing loss or disappointment, My Jesus comes alongside you to:

show how God can bring purpose out of loss,

offer hope in the midst of heartbreak, and

remind you that God never abandons you.

In the bluegrass fields of Kentucky, Anne Wilson and her siblings, Jacob and Elizabeth, grew up in the security and love of their family—and Jesus. Then when Jacob died in a car accident, Anne was thrust into a painful journey of grief and soul-wrestling that led to God calling her to create songs that glorified Him.

My Jesus weaves together Anne’s personal story with an encouraging message to anyone longing for God to wipe away their tears. 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.

My Thoughts...

I fell in love with this book as soon as I started reading it. It is amazing how God can take a tragedy and turn it into a work. Anne talks about her siblings and how the three of them were best friends growing up. Anne never thought of having a music career when she sang at her brother's funeral.  

     The book is very well written, I love how at the end of each chapter she has "A Note From Anne'', where she writes advice straight to the reader. She also has scripture at the end of each chapter. The book is full of love and faith and how Jesus turned her heartache into hope.
