When God Says NO-Revealing the YES When Adversity and Loss Are Present
Mile High Press
Does your life feel that sometimes it’s too long; too hard; and not fair? It did for Judith Briles. Her personal journey has been littered with NOES. Two of her children have died; she survived a life-threatening illness—paralyzed several months; survived a divorce that the tabloids would have relished; overcame cancer; and lost everything she had built when a partner embezzled over a million dollars leaving her without any assets but family, friends … and herself.
For Judith, too many…Does your life feel that sometimes it’s too long; too hard; and not fair? It did for Judith Briles. Her personal journey has been littered with NOES. Two of her children have died; she survived a life-threatening illness—paralyzed several months; survived a divorce that the tabloids would have relished; overcame cancer; and lost everything she had built when a partner embezzled over a million dollars leaving her without any assets but family, friends … and herself.
For Judith, too many times it was a sink or swim scenario … but first, she had to learn how to tread water! Resilience became her middle name.
Broke and broken, she had to start over … one step, one breath, one heartbeat at a time more than once. Within When God Says NO, she reminds YOU that you are not alone when bad times surface. They will … they do.
Despite the numerous setbacks in her life, or rather, because of them, Judith Briles found the tools to help her overcome any obstacle. Get ready to embrace the joy of living, even when tragedy is in your midst. When God Says NO will change how you think; how you act; and maybe your life.
No one holds a monopoly on good times. Invariably, everyone comes to a point where life is miserable. When Judith finished When God Says NO, she said, “Pain is inevitable … misery is not. This is my life.”
