The great tragedy is that we all face the heart-breaking loss of loved ones who have been the center of our world. . .. These losses present great challenges to living a life of faith without becoming bitter. Widows often face the hardest road when they lose their husband and love of their life. Their grief is often accompanied by financial crisis, and the sudden responsibility for things, making a living, and managing money. They must navigate these new arenas without their soulmate, their friend, and closest confidante... I have known Margie for several decades and have watched how she has sought the Lord as a true worshiper, a faithful wife, and loving mother. In courageously writing The Widow's Might she takes us on a journey into the sudden and unknown world of not having her husband. She doesn't sugar coat the journey but takes the challenge head on with all the hardship and heartache that accompany it. I'm reminded of Jesus who came to identify with us in all our weakness and became like us in all things. He in turn wants us to identify with others. As you read The Widow's Might you may recognize your journey or identify the journey of someone who may need your help. Margie lays out the pain but doesn't leave us there. On every page, she weaves God's word and prayer into a beautiful portrait of how every widow can find a window of hope and love that leads her to freedom from the devastation of loss. As you read, let your heart take you from the depths and hard truth of loss to the mountain of victory through Jesus Christ. DR. MAHESH CHAVDA Senior Pastor All Nations Church Charlotte, NC When Margie speaks, I listen. I have seen how God reveals Himself to her and I encourage everyone to read what He has spoken to her in The Widow's Might. The strength she found at the throne of grace when Nicky left for Heaven is testimony to the power of God to heal and restore. MAX GREINER Artist and founder of the Sculpture Prayer Garden Kerrville, Texas WHAT THE WIDOW'S ARE SAYING: I thought I was going crazy after John died until I talked with Margie. She shared some chapters from her book, and what she had written came alive. I had just experienced what had happened to her in the grocery store. Then I read what she had written about Heaven. My last words to John had been that this was going to be the first time in fifty years we wouldn't share everything. He was going to see Heaven, and I wasn't. It seemed like her description of Heaven and what John was seeing were written by God especially for me. What a gift of comfort! PEGGY Margie puts into words what most people don't know how to say. Her prayers were a great help because I have not known how to express what I am feeling when I pray. I could identify with everything she went through, and what she wrote about the foxes is helping me each day. MARIE When you read The Widow's Might your mourning is brought to dancing as you are brought closer to Jesus and all His glory. BETTY
