Looking Out the Window: Sherri Stewart Traveled to the Netherlands to Research A Song for Her Enemies, her latest book. She'll Give Away an e-Book

  A Warm Welcome to Sherri Stewart To enter to win the e-Book of A Song for her Enemies leave a comment and an email address below.

Have you ever wondered why God allowed you to go through that hard/dark/difficult period in your life? Has life always been the proverbial bowl of cherries? Of course not! It just seems worse for those of us who serve a God in heaven because we falsely assume life will always be full of sunshine.  Tyrell Walker, the protagonist in my WWII novel, lost his parents as a child. That’s a terrible blow to any child, but God had plans for him. Lovi
