Hän on ollut uskollinen on monisäikeinen kertomus ihmiselämän monista haasteista sekä Jumalan ihmeellisestä voimasta ja avusta. Carol Cymbalan sekä useiden Brooklyn Tabernacle -kuoron jäsenten elämäntarinat todistavat Jumalan suuresta armosta. Ne kertovat syvästä kaipauksesta, jonka vain Jeesus voi täyttää. Ne osoittavat, että meidän tulee etsiä vain Jumalan kunniaa, ei omaamme. Tehtävämme on kertoa kaikille Hänen suurista teoistaan - sillä lahjalla tai kyvyllä, jonka Hän on meille antanut. *** Carol Cymbala johtaa 270 -jäsenistä Brooklyn Tabernacle -kuoroa, joka on voittanut useita palkintoja - mm. kuusi Grammya. Miehensä Jimin kanssa he ovat johtaneet Brooklyn Tabernacle -seurakuntaa New Yorkissa 1970-luvulta saakka. Pastori-isänsä rohkaisemana Carol perusti seurakuntaan kuoron, johon liittyi yhdeksän ihmistä. Vähitellen kuoro kasvoi ja vuosikymmenten kuluessa siitä on tullut olennainen osa seurakunnan toimintaa. Carol on myös tehnyt kuorolle satoja lauluja, joista lähes sata on levytetty. Carol ja Jim Cymbalalla on kolme aikuista lasta, yhdeksän lastenlasta sekä kaksi lastenlastenlasta. Ann Spangler on kirjoittanut useita menestysteoksia. Hän asuu Grand Rapidsissa, Michiganissa, ja hänellä on kaksi adoptiotytärtä.

This unique devotional is the result of a personal quest. In order to let the truth sink in—that God is love—Ann Spangler began hunting through the Bible for the words that every person longs to hear—words of peace, protection, and mercy. Realizing her tendency to absorb the harsher words of the Bible more easily than its encouraging words, she devoted several months to reading and reflecting only on God’s tender words. The result is a series of morning and evening readings designed to cut away our unbelief so that we can hear the truth about love from God himself. Each week contains morning and evening readings, enough for ninety days— passages to soak in and call to mind when one is tempted to doubt. While the core of the book is Scripture, each reading is framed with personal reflections related to the week’s theme, making this devotional read equally well as a thought-provoking message for those who want to know God better.
