Beauty from Ashes ─ My Story of Grace

In a transparent and powerful manner, the author reveals how the Lord took her from the ashes of a life devastated by failed relationships and destructive behavior to bring her into a beautiful and powerful relationship with Him. This book highlights God's ability to restore those who have failed and His desire to use those who struggle to see themselves as vessels worthy of the Lord's use. After reading the author's testimony and encouraging words, readers are left with no excuses for believing the Holy Spirit cannot empower and use them regardless of their past failures and existing apprehensions.

Foreword by Laura Lynn Tyler-Thompson, the host of 700 Club Canada.

DONNA SPARKS, an Assemblies of God evangelist, travels widely to speak for women's conferences and retreats. She also ministers in many churches and still finds time to maintain a vibrant and fruitful jail ministry to women. In that jail ministry she has seen the Lord bring many female prisoners to salvation and spiritual renewal. She uses every ministry opportunity to share her own testimony of God's mercy and grace in rescuing her from a destructive past. Donna boldly shares the unchanging truth of God's Holy Word with an intense desire to see the lost come to Christ. With humor, Donna seeks to engage others by sharing how God has proven Himself faithful to her. And she makes clear that God will do the same for them. She has been married for twenty years to the love of her life, Bryan, and they have two beautiful daughters whom they are raising to know and experience the reality of God, the fullness of His love, and His power to lead them into ministry and blessing.
