Christian authors journal entries display to readers the glory of God

LONGWOOD, FL-A new release from Christian self-publisher Xulon Press, That You May Know God Has a Purpose (paperback), recounts how through the death of one son and the brain cancer of another, author Louise Hammell had peace, trusting that her sovereign God had purpose in what He allowed to touch her life. "Our peace comes from knowing God is sovereign over our circumstances," the author says. "Through my story, people will see how they can have peace in an unstable world. Not only will it bring greater awareness to the problem of drunken driving, but I believe the story is powerful enough to help change such behavior. An inspiring chapter that tells of my oldest son being healed of brain cancer will offer hope, through faith, to cancer victims."

Her story began on the night her 17-year-old son Matthew was killed by a hit and run drunk driver. From the first night of this tragedy there was evidence of God's presence, says the author. Since 1996, she has spoken at state-run classes for people convicted of drunken driving. She also became politically active in the fight for tougher drunken driving laws, a feat which took her from the state house in New Jersey all the way to the White House.

Soon after Matthew died, Hammell felt God leading her to write down every event in which she recognized God's hand. Her journal is filled with entries that display the glory of God. Some entries reveal God's heart in the tender ways He ministered His love and comfort; others tell of all the good things that have come out of this tragedy. Ten years after Matthew's death, Hammell's oldest son, Ron, Jr., was diagnosed with brain cancer. Again, God led her to pick up her pen. Her story has touched many, and it will continue to do so in That You May Know God Has a Purpose.
