Jerry Bridges’ life is a remarkable story of God’s providence. From “a most unpromising beginning” as a poor kid from the wrong side of the tracks, he joined the Navy, went to college, became an engineer, joined The Navigators as a missionary, and eventually became a best-selling author. In this book, Jerry illustrates through his story—and then summarizes for the reader—seven key “spiritual lessons” that God has taught him through his 83 years. These lessons can be passed on to any believer.
Have you ever gone through something and came out saying "how did I survive this?" That has been my story for years. I would go through something awful and think to myself "how did I possibly survive this?" The answer is simple. God Never Took His Hands Off Of Me! Even in the situations I got myself into ...His hand stayed upon my life. As a child I was molested and abused, which opened the door for other things to happen. It seemed like the attacks were coming back to back. Looking for ways to cope with suppressed hurt and to feel loved, I became an addict and promiscuous in nature as a teenager. Witnessing death and having near death experiences as an adult, ending my life did not seem too bad. But then it happened.... I was given a reason to live in the form of a baby. Becoming a mother was not quite the answer to all of my troubles as I thought. Where was my faith? I was brought up in the church; didn't I know God for myself? No. I did not. I knew about Him based on other people's stories. I had to really sit back and think back to every trial that came my way. Trials really do come to make you strong. And in every possible trial that I endured, I never had to endure them alone. God was right there the whole time. Even when all I had were tears and screams to give, Holy Spirit made intercession for me. No longer ashamed of my testimony. Yes, that happened! Yes, I did it! Our testimonies are not for us... but they are for other people to see the manifestation of God's glory in our lives. We overcome by the blood of the lamb, and the words of our testimony! I believe God even in unfavorable situations. This is my story, what is yours?

Throughout the years, I have been shown how easy it is for the devil to take an innocent child born from God and tear them down to merely nothing. Many like me try to hold on to what we think we know, and that is faith, that God, our creator, will show up to help us conquer the many demonic attacks we encounter. Some of us are successful, and with his love and guidance know where to turn, who to call upon when our unseen predators show up, to either bring us into misery or try to take possession. Yet there are too many of us who don't really know our Lord and Savior (Jesus) and that his blood is the only way to get them to flee so that you may be brought back to peace. Instead of Jesus, many turn to alcohol and drugs in order to hide, cover up, what they are truly facing with. I too tried to fight them on my own, even asking God to remove my spirit from this life. Well, God had other plans for me. He needed me to survive, because to my surprise, God needed me as much as I needed him. Therefore, he had to prove to me how someone like me is so important to him that he went as far as sending his son Jesus to hold my hand to give me peace I never knew existed. God gave me the strength to face the cruelty of this world toward me. He taught me the real meaning of love. His love, not man's. That is why he needs me to let his children of all nations know that he is ready to send his son back soon and that he loves all, not just the saved but the unsaved. When it is time for the return of Christ Jesus, he wants to bring home all his children but he knows there are so many who have good hearts, good intentions, but believe in another God or feel by their good deeds alone can get them into heaven, but I am here to let you know you can't on your own. Like Samson, David, Moses, Joshua, and many others in the Bible, God to has chosen me to deliver a message. He has been with me throughout my journey and will remain until the end has been his promise. As in many books of the Bible spoken by Jesus, "He who has ears, let him hear."
In this book I share my journey with God and how it unfolded over my life time. My journey began on a dark November night when I lost my way. I was returning from a cousins birthday party in Brooklyn. It was one am. I missed the turn on a road I had driven all of my youth growing up in Brooklyn. Not quite sure where I was I stopped at a stop sign and began to pray. I was scared, as the neighborhood was alive with drug activity and crowded street corners. In a few minutes of that prayer the front part of a white tractor trailer pulled along side my car. I lowered my window and asked this big burly man for directions back to the main artery that would lead me to the ninety mile trip home. He told me to follow him as he was going that way, but had to make a stop first. Had I not heard the compassion in his voice I would have never followed him. We weaved through streets unknown to me and made a stop in front of a housing project. I left the motor running and waited. He returned with a women who climbed into the cab. Again we weaved through streets unknown to me. Suddenly he stopped and began to walk over to my car. I gripped the steering wheel. He pointed to a big sign that announced the entrance to the expressway that would lead me home. Filled with joy I lowered my window to express my thanks. He returned to his truck made a right hand turn as I made the left to enter on to the expressway. I had a clear view of the flaps on his back tires as the street lights reflected their glow. It said Transportation for Christ. My journey had begun.

2018 Christian Book Award finalist (Devotion and Gift category) He Holds My Hand is a page-per-day 365-day devotional. Based on Scripture, this devotional is written as if God the Father is speaking His words of comfort and protection directly over you. When Carol Kent’s son was sentenced to life in prison without parole, Carol was consumed with grief, sadness, and despair. She was distraught wondering why God permitted this to happen. She had prayed for her son since he was a small child. He had been raised with biblical principles and daily prayer. As Carol tried to make sense of everything, she couldn’t help asking, Where’s God when it hurts so much? In the middle of her sorrow, Carol turned to the place where she had always gone for comfort—the Bible. She was desperate to hear God’s voice. She soon discovered that the best way for her to “listen” to His voice was to meditate on Scripture and then write out what she believed He was saying. She wrote it as if it was His prayer over her life, and it comforted her. It was as if He took her by the hand, as a father would guide a child, and He gently led her in the direction of unconditional love, renewed hope, and fresh faith. Know without a doubt that God is with you and stands ready to protect and guide you. He holds your hand, and He won’t let go. Listen to God’s voice and put your hand in His. He is your Comforter, your Healer, your Teacher, and your Joy. Remember He holds your hand, and He won’t let go.
Death visited our family early in my youth, taking my father without warning, exacting its toll of loss and grief on me, my mom, and four siblings, leaving us all emotionally scarred. We loved Dad and grieved bitterly, surviving with feelings of desolation and sorrow as our strong family circle was forever broken; my sister, ten years old, was unable to comprehend "why Dad left her." God's Angel of Death would visit my family, inflicting the pain of sorrow and loss repeatedly, and in the years to come I would lose my mother, sister, and two younger brothers. I would later become estranged from my own family through divorce, and relocation would sever relationships, uprooting me from my career, the old familiar places and faces, plunging me back into sadness and loneliness, grim reminders of loss from the not distant past. In the middle of the storms I lost my auditory senses and had to adapt to an entirely new world that introduced fear and rejection, and at one point of my life I became fearful of dying suddenly. I realized, too much later, that I never really was ever alone; God was always with me and he was keeping me here, carrying, guiding, strengthening me through every storm, giving my life direction again, restoring me full-circle to his purpose for me--writing to tell of his love. It took a while for me to understand God's grace, how he led me through the years of stormy darkness to a relationship with him through love and mercy that is unsurpassed; and, while I am still working on life, a great part of its purpose is to share my hope and faith and attest to God's love and grace, but most of all to bear witness to the triumphant, peaceful joy of walking, talking with, and listening to God along the valleys and mountaintops of life.
Winner of the 2023 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work - Fiction “Deeply empathetic yet unflinching in its gaze…an unforgettable exploration of responsibility and redemption.”—Celeste Ng Inspired by true events that rocked the nation, a searing and compassionate new novel about a Black nurse in post-segregation Alabama who blows the whistle on a terrible injustice done to her patients, from the New York Times bestselling author of Wench Montgomery, Alabama, 1973. Fresh out of nursing school, Civil Townsend intends to make a difference, especially in her African American community. At the Montgomery Family Planning Clinic, she hopes to help women shape their destinies, to make their own choices for their lives and bodies. But when her first week on the job takes her along a dusty country road to a worn-down one-room cabin, Civil is shocked to learn that her new patients, Erica and India, are children—just eleven and thirteen years old. Neither of the Williams sisters has even kissed a boy, but they are poor and Black, and for those handling the family’s welfare benefits, that’s reason enough to have the girls on birth control. As Civil grapples with her role, she takes India, Erica, and their family into her heart. Until one day she arrives at their door to learn the unthinkable has happened, and nothing will ever be the same for any of them. Decades later, with her daughter grown and a long career in her wake, Dr. Civil Townsend is ready to retire, to find her peace, and to leave the past behind. But there are people and stories that refuse to be forgotten. That must not be forgotten. Because history repeats what we don’t remember. Inspired by true events and brimming with hope, Take My Hand is a stirring exploration of accountability and redemption. “Highlights the horrific discrepancies in our healthcare system and illustrates their heartbreaking consequences.”—Essence
