One person’s experience is another person’s testimony. Who knew that all the pain I endured and the tears I shed would end up delivering so many women from the bondage of hopelessness and depression? God knew. I am convinced that every trial we go through is a personal, valuable life lesson and a story to share so that others might be encouraged to press on and finish the race set before us.

For nearly a decade, I struggled in a marriage with a man who believed that the only thing God was good for was creating the world and ending it. Nothing more. To even consider praising and worshipping God for the breath of life or tangible blessings was the farthest thing from my husband’s mind. This caused tremendous conflict in our marriage. We argued about everything from what kind of music the children should listen to, to my feeling lonely and isolated because we no longer shared common interests. It got so bad I was ready to throw in the towel and not look back! Actually, I did throw in the towel a few times. But there was something within me (and I know now that that something was God) that yoked me back and told me that if I really wanted a truly, happy and fulfilling marriage then what I needed to do was trust God. If I could believe God for a new car or a job, I could trust Him to bless my marriage. I decided to trust God to bring my marriage to a level where my husband respected my Christian walk and I no longer had to be ashamed to praise God.

Well, after nearly ten years of marriage, God decided it was time. He grabbed my husband by the collar and called him to salvation! A day I’ll never forget. A day that will forever remind me of the never-ending, promises of God. If only we would believe and trust God. For His word and His promises are true.

women married to men who do not have a spiritual relationship. At the same time, the book digs deep into the spirit of the everyday woman. It addresses the importance of prayer, living life purposely and maintaining unity in the family. Since the release of "Soul Inspiration…", I have had the honor of sharing with hundreds of women who are going through the frustration of living and loving a man who is lacking spiritually. Thinking they are alone in this struggle. Feeling that God has no interest in their unequally yoked relationship. I have a word for you Sister. God says "STAND." Don’t give up. His word promises to "save your whole household, if you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 16:31). God wants to bless you, your marriage and your family. But you must trust Him with your whole heart. Have peace. Sheritha.

BOOK REVIEW

"Soul Inspiration…" by Sheritha Bowman, is a book of inspiring anecdotes written to encourage the Christian woman whose husband has not yet accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior. It is a good read for any married woman looking to keep love alive and for any single woman considering marriage. Bowman inspires women to stand on the promises of God and not give up. With an anointed mixture of boldness and humor, she gives life-changing advice on prayer, growing spiritually, submission in marriage, loving your mate, withstanding life’s storm and maintaining peace in the midst of it all
