Book Cover & Preview Text
Many of the people who know me encouraged me to write this book. Actually, people started telling me 29 years ago that God had gifted me with wisdom and knowledge that I should share with other believers. That was in Turkey, it was a young Turkish university student, who spoke those words to me at the time. Actually, I was amazed by this advice since I saw my life as in shambles. I guess sometimes God uses us even when we feel the most unworthy. Since that time twenty-nine years ago, many other women and men have encouraged me to put my life experience down in words. This is my attempt to fulfill their wishes, and to do what I feel God would have me do.

About the Book
Struggling for identity is something we all go through. Some of us struggle more than others, but in the final analysis, our choices result in consequences, good or bad. However, it does not mean that we know who we are. It just means that we want to be the best "me" we can be. Being satisfied with where you are can cause stagnation. Being willing to forge ahead in spite of obstacles makes you stronger. Not that we should not be content with ourselves; we should. However, our highest goal should be to have the best that God has to offer us. Choose to take God's roadmap for your life, not what society says your life should be. Journey with Barbara as she shares her life and her heart in her struggle for identity.
