For author Judy D. Dews, life has thrown her a variety of challenges. In To the Edge and Back, she shares these challenges and shows how God saved her and has worked in her life.
Beginning with her birth in California in 1961, the third of her parents' children, Dews's mother tried to give her away, an action that set the tone for the strained relationship between them. Through her parents' divorce, her father's untimely death, being burned in more than 74 percent of her body, and the death of her grandmother from cancer, Dews found comfort in church and prayer.
To the Edge and Back shares the events of Dews's life, and she also includes pertinent Scriptures and biblical lessons to demonstrate the influence God has in our everyday lives. Through tragedy, loss, and difficult relationships, she communicates the light of God's grace and discusses ways we can be encouraged by all of life's circumstances-good or bad.
