Based in the mid 1800's, Winter's Promise is the story of Lorrie Wainright, a young Christian woman who, at the onset of winter, loses everything and everyone she loves in an Indian raid on her wagon train. And of Wykatee, a young Shoshone Indian warrior who, only days before, also suffered a great deal of loss at the hands of his own kind. They are two people of different lives and of different cultures who through tragedy meet, their lives pulled together with need, uncertainty, and on Lorrie's part, fear. As Wykatee tries to get Lorrie to the closest town and back to her own people, the story brings you through their personal struggles, their sorrows, their hopes, their dreams, their adventures, and in a time where mixed-culture relationships were looked harshly upon, it ultimately brings you through their deepest personal struggle when they realize they truly care for each other.
If you are coping with loss, experiencing confusion and doubt, or simply feeling overwhelmed, these beautifully formed devotions will ignite the hope that God is with you in even the winter seasons of life. Winter is a time of waiting, a time of questioning. Yet a promise lies buried beneath the snow--a seed waiting to spring to life. These brief meditations will touch the hidden places of your heart, comfort your spirit, and renew your strength through the open invitation to deeper reflection and more attentive listening to God's still small voice. Author Ken Gire illustrates how God is with you yesterday, today, and forever.
