Description

Worst Case Scenario, Finding Overwhelming Rescue in the Promises of God, is one woman's journey through compelling calls, plot twists, and transitions that led her family from urban San Diego to life in the rural mountains of Lesotho, Africa and the Great Rift Valley of Kenya.

Michelle Gennaro Lapp has finally chronicled the intimate details of her marriage to her college sweetheart, the growth of their family through birth and adoption, their call to Africa, and then the unfolding of the most profound loss of her life. Her moving memoir gives readers an intimate glimpse into her darkest thoughts, deepest prayers, and greatest victories. Excerpts from the pages of her prayer journals reveal the personal and providential care and love of God, and His faithfulness to keep His promises to bring beauty from the ashes. Come along, and find comfort and hope for life's unexpected tribulations.
