On Eagles’ Wings

Book Cover & Preview Text
I realized then just how badly I had acted. I realized that my parents had been suffering as much as I had, maybe even more, and I had yelled at them. I had treated them and my siblings and friends horribly and gotten angry at God just because something bad happened. Life wasn't perfect, but that didn't mean God wasn't good. God's goodness wasn't defined by life’s circumstances. I decided then and there that whatever happened, I would do my best to trust God. I bowed my head and prayed. Dear Lord, I haven't done a very good job of trusting You recently. I don't understand why this is happening, but I know that You have a plan for my life. Help me to trust You from now on. Amen.

About the Book
Mia Jensen is twelve years old. She has grown up in a small town, and her life has been uneventful. She often wishes something interesting would happen, but when Mia gets her “something interesting,” it is not at all like she imagined.
As Mia’s life is upended and she begins to question everything she’s ever known, her faith comes under examination. If God loves her so much, why would he let her suffer?
With her life upside-down, Mia turns to the people around her for answers. She must choose between bitterness and faith. Surrounded by friends and family, Mia comes to learn that life isn’t perfect, but that doesn’t mean God isn’t good. His goodness isn’t defined by life’s circumstances. Instead, God is with Mia even in the darkest of times, ready to raise her up on eagle’s wings.
