By Laura Mott Tarro is pastor at Bethany Covenant in St Charles. In the Christian tradition, it is common practice to share your testimony. A testimony is a witness to the transformative work of God in your life. Every Christian should have a testimony. Most Christians can share multiple stories of different moments when the living God interrupted their everyday life with a sense of wonder that created a new “before” and “after.”
Great review, Laura. And I loved the book. It was truthful, complex memoir, not scrubbed hagiography. Reading it was encouraging and challenging, an “iron sharpens iron” sort of read. Btw, if you’re into audiobooks at all, Beth’s reading is a masterpiece!
As the saying goes - “A picture is worth a thousand words.” As Rod Stewart sang - “Every picture tells a story.”
I believe every life tells a million stories, which become frames in the “motion picture”that tells our story! Speaking of eschatology, the afterlife is eternity in perfect peace, lounging on interactive clouds, as we watch, on God’s big screen, everybody’s stories, with absolute TOV and HESED.
It sounds like Beth Moore’s book is a wonderful example of at least parts of her story. And, true to her testimony, we can all learn some valuable lessons for life wife God and each other. Thank you, for sharing this!
What I have loved about her - and this was clear in her memoir - is that Jesus shines through in her life so brightly. This has become particularly clear since 2015/2016 when she experienced so much backlash for saying what she thought. I know a little bit about Beth Moore, as she reveals it, but what she reveals only points to Jesus. And her faith has been a mentoring to me in my own life over that time. I want to know Jesus like she does, trust Him like she does.
