FRUITING IN THE DESERT OF WIDOWHOOD

“When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father” (John 15:8). This is the injunction our Lord Jesus Christ gave you but sometimes, there are desert periods that stop you from carrying this out. Fruiting in the desert of widowhood, presents you with strategies for coping with the disability of widowhood, such that you can still bear fruits in spite of the myriad of challenges you face as a widow. The
overriding secret is to seek the “oasis of every desert” Jehovah El Shaddai. However, if you are not a widow, this book can also help you to react better to the widow, so that you will gain the promised blessings that should accrue to you as you fit into God‘s plan in helping the helpless.
