''God has a purpose in our limits.'

This is a must-read for any believer.''If you find yourself wishing things were like they used to be, longing for what could have been, or hoping for a change in what lies ahead, Sara's is the voice you need.

This book is for the dreamers, the fixers, the goal setters. This one is for the evelÓ0
