The Living Sacrifice on an Assignment - Brenda J. Baldwin

After high school, a coal miners daughter from a small, rural country place called Havaco, West Virginia, leaves town in hopes of finding a better life, employment, or striking it rich somehow. Her family was poor so they dreamed big. She needed a job paying enough to take care of her needs, as well as enough to send some money back home to help the family. The president of United Coal Miners Union, John Lewis, was murdered; the coal mines were shut down and the coal miners were now jobless. The family was now living off of government cheese, dried milk, and beans. She had never been away from home and she had only read about the city. Now she finds herself in a place full of strangers, huge buildings, and dual highways. She had been instructed to get in a Bible believing and teaching church so she could make friends and be safe. She gets married and, because of the betrayal of her in-laws, gets divorced. She first turns angry, then becomes bitter and has unforgiveness in her heart. She turns inward for self-gratification. Unbeknown to her, her intimate life was being recorded. This keeps her from having a normal life so she goes back to square onelooking for a Bible believing and teaching church. Thereafter, her life takes many twists and turns. What she discovers will make you shiver. This book was sabotaged seven times to cover up the truth, but the truth got out anyway. The most valuable thing in the world is the truth. One cannot have trust without the truth. Most times it is hidden behind a bunch of lies. We, as the people of God, must live by the truth or there will be no trust. The word of God is true. It lives in me.
