"Rebecca Carpenter's latest book is filled with encouraging and healing words of hope from one who has known the grief of losing a spouse followed by an extended time of seclusion during the pandemic. Isolation does not respond well to quick fixes or instant healing. It is an extended journey that needs continued encouragement from those who can walk with us. Rebecca's ninety-day devotional is designed as a daily journey to reflect on God's promises of hope, which touches the mind through the heart. This is a much-needed and helpful resource for those walking through a sense of loneliness and those who are caregivers for others." The Reverend Dr. Larry Selig, Retired Pastor, Mt. Lebanon United Presbyterian Church, Author,
