Emphasis Preaching Journal

This teenager was a loser. No doubt about it. Married at fourteen, mother of a child at fifteen, deserted by her husband at sixteen, and divorced at seventeen. She suffered a breakdown at 22, was married at 24 and divorced again at 33. No question about it, she was a born loser. Her second child was severely retarded and died two years later. She and her third husband adopted three children. Two of them died within the next ten years, one in a bus crash, the other in a tragic mishap in Germany. Yet this multi-loser began to write books and inspire millions with her courage and faith.
