A kidnapped girl survived twelve nightmarish years. Now she's safely back home . . . or is she?

Even the twists have twists.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author “Dark, compulsive, full of OMG moments. If you think you know where it’s going . . . YOU DON’T.

"Life comes at us from every direction with instructions others think we should follow. But worldly strategies often leave out one key directive--Godþs plan for our lives, the Word-filled life. Dr. Barnett closely studied the nearly 3,000 lives recorded in the Bible, as well as many of the major figures who have crossed the worldþs stage to find those God used to magnify His Name in this world. The common denominator was their choosing to discipline themselves for God, to find the quality life that He wants for each of us.

This richly researched and practical study guide of Godþs Word shows how He wants to greatly bless us and offers His clear guidelines for how to have an exciting lifetime filled with confidence, purpose, direction and hope"--Back cover.
