Views from the Balcony: Things I've Seen - Things I've Learned

What does it look like to joyfully give your life to God only to take it back when life begins to unravel around you? Diane Lowery delves into this question as she takes us through her charmed adolescence where she was grounded in her love for Christ and surrounded by a family living out the daily truth of the Gospel. As she grows in physical maturity and moves into adulthood, desires for a happy, unfettered life start to encroach on her commitment to Christ and soon take precedence over her love for Jesus. Ultimately, finding the subtle steps have led her far from her original path of following God’s will, Diane finds herself broken and at a crossroads where she rediscovers her faith by immersing herself in the biblical truths recorded in Scripture. Spending time in God’s Word and intentionally applying its principles to her life, Diane is able to return to her original joy of salvation. The beauty in this epiphany is that this was the road to happiness all along! Views From the Balcony; Things I’ve Seen and Things I’ve Learned teaches us that the leaning into God’s will can turn the ashes of our life into the most prolific tapestry that we as humans, with limited understanding, can hardly fathom possible. His Divine purpose for our lives manifests itself in direct proportion to how much of our own will we concede in order to follow His. With pertinent Scripture, inspiring song lyrics and beautiful prose and poetry, Diane challenges the reader to look for ways to be a light in this world while keeping your eyes and heart in the heavenlies.
