Just One Reason

Just One Reason is a testimonial of Darlene's extraordinary journey from the depths of childhood trauma to discovering God's transformational love. Born unwanted and considered "e;God's punishment,"e; she is subject to sexual abuse and faced such darkness that she contemplated suicide at the young age of seven. Asking God for just one reason, she feels heavenly arms of pure love embrace her, and a gentle voice breaks through her despair with the words "e;Darlene, I love you... I care... I went to Calvary for you,"e; giving her that one reason.This divine encounter became the cornerstone of a lifelong relationship with Jesus that would sustain her through decades of pain, devastating losses, and medical crises, including a month-long coma. Her willingness to share raw, unflinching, and honest details about the darkness she faced demonstrates how God's grace works through brokenness.Giving encouragement to readers who have felt worthless or forgotten, or who are facing their own struggles with abuse, family dysfunction, or feeling unwanted, Just One Reason is, through it all, her powerful declaration that she would choose her difficult life with Jesus over an easy one without Him, offering hope to anyone questioning God's presence in suffering.
