Never Give Up on Your Calling A Stunning Triumph of Hope You’ll laugh, you’ll weep, but you’ll never get over what God did for this broken little abused girl. He healed her wounds and called her to spread His Gospel through the world. In the same way, He wants to heal you and raise you up to serve Him. "Louada has written an honest, gut-wrenching life story as she shines the light on the heart-breaking past of a little girl trapped in a world of alcoholism, abuse, rejection, fear and neglect. Today she is a powerful, anointed, loving and forgiving minister of the gospel. While sharing her life, in hopes of helping others, she always points one to Jesus for healing and redemption. In this book you will find hope and help for your own life." -Carol Torrance, U.S. National Director, S.C. Region Aglow International "I almost couldn't breathe as I read about Louada, the little girl in a runaway car, awakened by an angel. What a beautiful testimony of the redemptive power of Jesus! He really does save, heal, and deliver to the uttermost. This book will bring glory to the Lord and healing for many. Well Done!" -Cindy Danielson, Core Leadership Team, Impact Christian Fellowship, Kerrville, TX "My heart was wonderfully and tenderly warmed as I read my friend's touching story of God's REDEEMING LOVE. In this fast-paced recounting of finding her 'Father,' Louada brings a comforting word of hope for those marginalized because of a sinful, fallen humanity. She beautifully carries the reader through the struggles that she faced being separated from God and the consequences of fallen people. Highly recommended for your encouragement." -Michael Cave, Executive Director, Commission and Ministers Network "Everyone loves a hero, as long as it is someone else. Heroes are broken, bruised, scarred, and torn, but the experience transforms them into conquering warriors. As Paul the Apostle stated, 'Tribulation works patience; and patience, experience...' (Romans 5:3-4). Louada Raschke invites you on her very personal and honest experience—from victim to victor; from conquered to conqueror; from fear to faith. You will laugh. You will cry. You. Will. Be. Changed. Join Louada on her journey with this miracle-working Jesus and allow Him to transform you into the hero He destined you to be." -Roberta J. (Bertie) Jones, MD "This is a must-read for those wanting proof that our Creator-God works through our lives to protect and restore His kids. Louada writes with vulnerable simplicity to paint a portrait of Father God's faithfulness. Be ready to be inspired to take a step of faith as you walk this life's sacred journey." -Jack & Carol Rothenflue, authors and retired pastors to missionaries "It is a joy for me to recommend this wonderful book written by Louada Raschke, with Dr. Sandy Kirk, about the life and ministry of my friend and sister in Christ. She is a woman whose heart burns with passion for God and compassion for people, especially those who are hurting. She is willing to be vulnerable and allow her story to be told so that others going through painful, hopeless situations may know there is a Heavenly Father who sees, loves, and transforms." -Elizabeth Brown, President, Central TX Area Aglow Int'l
