This Far By Faith - Lillian O. Washington Evangelist

THIS FAR BY FAITH: My Story, Secrets and All tells an amazing story of faith and self-discovery. It is a story of how some people heal stronger in the breaks. Evangelist Lillian Oglesby Washington, an ordained minister, is one of those remarkable people. Evangelist Washington was born in Edgefield, SC located in the northwest corner of South Carolina in 1941. Despite great obstacles including a childhood marred by extreme poverty and scant resources, mental illness, physical abuse, abandonment, extremely difficult marriages, widowed at thirty-one with two children, death of a child, alcoholism, infidelity, losing a husband, sister and mother within two years, debilitating health issues, she has bounced back repeatedly. At 75 years of age, she remains a work in progress. Although now living in Michigan, she is still very much a product of her southern Christian principles, deeply devoted to God and striving to treat others as Christ would. She sees the good in everyone, still, puts others' needs above her own and believes everyone is entitled to a second chance. Evangelist Washington speaks to those who have been broken in body and spirit helping them address their own pain. Nothing is held back. She speaks openly and honestly, telling everything -secrets and all In sharing her extraordinary story of faithfulness, love, life, forgiveness, and perseverance, her hope is that this book will help each of us see "how YOU can go through the fire and come out as pure gold!!"
