spanned a period of over seven years.
To give in to temptation is made so easy through pornographic material on the internet, but the consequences can be bitter and enduring, as this account makes very clear.
Yet God’s grace and provision through extremely difficult times are in evidence throughout as a wife and mother struggles with the trauma of the events. The author is very happy to be contacted if she can be of any help to others. r.e.thompson2025@gmail.com

Commendation

‘The author wants us to understand that ‘God is good’ but sometimes the world is bad! Living with the knowledge that ‘God is good’ when the world is full of sunshine, does not mean that we cannot appreciate the fact that
God is still good when the world is dark and difficult.
This book re-lives the struggles between faith in God’s goodness and the harsh reality of living in a sinful world—and shows that it is possible to keep trusting God in the dark times!’
Pastor of the author’s church.

Author

R. E. Thompson is a wife, mother and grandmother. She has worked most of her life in various roles, mainly retail and education. She was baptised at 14, married at 22, has attended her local church for over fifty years and has a position of responsibility in the church.
Looking back on her life she sees that God has been in charge, especially when things were tough, including having their house repossessed, and she and her husband having been made redundant a number of times. As she says, ‘God has been so good, and who am
I to deserve such grace and mercy? He is just amazing!’
