Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.

To Fly Again book review

To Fly Again is a book written by Gracia Burnham, the author of In The Presence Of My Enemies. This book deals with our reaction to trying circumstances.
Gracia Burnham has returned home to the USA after spending a year with a terrorist organization in the Philippines. She was kidnapped and hauled all over the jungle with her husband, while the terrorists demanded a ransom. Her rescue came at the expense of her husband's life.
How do we deal with loss? How do we respond to a tragedy that has turned our life upside down? How do we go on when there is so much anger and bitterness in our hearts?
When life spins out of control for us, we find out who we truly are. We may have to redefine ourselves.... What defines us in good times and bad is not what we have but who we are.
-To Fly Again, Gracia Burnham, page 34, 35 
Gracia shows us that these problems are something that every one in some way faces. They may differ from person to person. Their scars may look different in each heart or on each body. But, the pain they inflict on the mind and souls of those who endure them is something that each of us need to know how to get past.
Gracia helps to show how she learned to pick up her broken life and came To Fly Again.

Note: This book does not always use the King James Version.
