Big answer to prayer!

 


I've just read the most epic book ever! Not only do I love it for its own sake but I love it's author and I'm so grateful to the Lord!

Around 1989 I had a miscarriage and I prayed at that time the Lord would give me a child to be a witness for Him either a pastor or missionary. I didn't realize that God answered my prayer when he gave us a disabled daughter in 1991. But 1st Corinthians one says so. 

Unfortunately, she is nearing the end of her life, but she has written 2 books that contain the gospel. One is her memoirs:

 and the other is a Christian fantasy book she's worked on since 2009.

Book description: Each of us is defined by many things in the eyes of the world– our appearance, our choices, our station in life. But those labels are rarely true. How can we know who we really are? For one ordinary young woman, the answer lies in another world, on the other side of a miraculous adventure.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Cathryn D. Achilles prefers to be called Ryn. She is a life-long daydreamer, who has been writing stories since childhood. Often, she wrote to be understood. Ryn was born with an incurable neurological disorder called Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T), that made her dependent on a g-tube by age nine and landed her in a wheelchair just after her tenth birthday. Ryn describes growing up with A-T as a “suck it up, buttercup” experience–she had to embrace her limitations early and learn what really mattered. She knows she could not have endured without the Lord. In her perspective, A-T is a mark given by God, to set her aside for Himself. Mellýndale and its residents have been a work of passion and an escape for Ryn since 2009. She hopes the story carries the truths she has received from the Holy Spirit to its readers, to refute the lies of the evil one.
