DANCING FROM DARKNESS by ELEANOR ISAACSON & JEANETTE WINDLE
I have just read DANCING FROM DARKNESS by ELEANOR ISAACSON & JEANETTE WINDLE. It is Eleanor's life story and it really touched me deeply.
Born in America, unwanted by her parents, dropped off in Germany at the age of two, lonely and unloved, she lived through the horrors of World War II aware of a Friend who loved her and was always with her, keeping her from harm. We see the protection of Psalm 91 in the life of a child who had never been to church, read the bible or heard the gospel!
We follow her struggles to America. Still unwanted by her parents, barely tolerated by her mother, she gets on with life and is led to the Lord by a friend at work and comes to know her Heavenly Father - the Friend who has never left her!
She realizes that the hardships she has been through have made her into the person she is today. We see how the Lord restores the locust eaten years by giving her a husband at the age of forty, who truly is the love of her life.
Hers is still not an easy life, but as she keeps going in spite of all she is going through, she is an amazing witness of what God can do in someone who is surrendered to Him.
I don't want to tell you too much of Eleanor's story - rather read it for yourself and let her tell it to you herself. You definitely won't be sorry!
