The Her Life Counts Book Launch Party

By herlifecounts Leave a Comment

I had such a beautiful time at the Her Life Counts Book Launch Party.

Close family and friends came out to mark the moment and as I looked around the room I could see how each person has been part of the foundation of building my life.

It was a celebration of us and it felt like a day of pure love and strength.

I felt so much kindness in the room as we all celebrated the hope of our Father in Heaven.

My heart is full and I’m ready to keep pushing towards all of God’s promises for my life.

Watch this space, there is so much more to come!

Discovering How We Are Loved

“Love your neighbor as yourself. – Galatians 5:14 NIV

That’s a powerful verse and it’s found a few more times throughout the Bible too. And I’m betting you have no problem loving others. It’s ‘easy’ to love others.

But how well do you do when it comes to loving yourself?

Many years have passed since I first encountered Vera. We are part of the same church and so our paths naturally crossed. In those days, it was a very insecure and fearful woman who was reaching out for hope and a sense of destiny for her life. Today, Vera is a transformed woman. This is her journey, her story. Writing a book to share with others takes great vulnerability especially when the journey of her life contains personal traumatic experiences. She is willing to be raw and open with the hope that you will experience life and hear the message clearly that ‘Her Life Counts’. I love Vera’s tenacity that has been displayed over and over not to let fear and hopelessness be the driver of her life. To know Vera is to love and respect her. I know because I have walked alongside Vera when Tori was fighting for her life, over and over again, I watched her consistently lean into God and trust Him for the moment and for the future. As I was reading through Her Life Counts, the words, courage, faith, hope, love, peace, dreams, beauty and joy resonated off the pages. This is such an encouraging message to bring in a world that is often driven by unreal expectations, frustrations and pain. May hope be ignited, strengthened or renewed in you through her story.

Absolutely beautiful, heart wrenching, yet inspiring novel. I couldn’t put it down, I needed to read it to the very end. A strong, powerful and beautiful woman’s journey through the pain with Jesus by her side she could conquer the trials of her daughter’s sickness and carry them both through the troubled waters. Vera is an amazing Christian Author that will keep you turning the pages for more and leave you brave to face the world because with our Lord Saviour Jesus Christ nothing can stop us.

‘Her Life Counts' is a very special book to me as it is written from the life and perspective of someone I know well and honour immensely. The author, Vera had to discover this truth for herself through the many battles and challenges she herself faced and also as she walked through the deepest valleys alongside her beautiful daughter Tori. The profound truth and life lessons encapsulated within these pages will encourage you to push through the hard places and to know that without a shadow of a doubt that you are so very important to God and that He is holding you every step of the way because your life counts too.
