Perils and Promises

by Frances Seymour

Frances Seymour was contentedly working in the office of a large church, when hurricane Isabelle pushed her out of her comfort zone. Suddenly she found herself swept from her nice house with two baths into a camper as she and her husband began work with North Carolina's hurricane victims. In Peril and Promises, Frances shares her spiritual journey and battles through honest and humorous prose and heartfelt poetry. Her story will propel your heart toward a greater yearning for the lasting things of God and leave you hungering for more quiet time and knowledge as you seek to actively serve God through your own life passions. Frances knows the physical, mental, social and spiritual perils all must face. At six, she was stricken with rheumatic fever. At age 42 she had radical brain surgery to correct epileptic seizures. And, although she had accepted Christ as her Savior early in life, it was not until her 30s that she completely surrendered her life to His lordship. She is now completely healed and seizure free. She is married to David and continues to work with hurricane victims in North Carolina.

[Jeanette "Josie" Cook M.A. · Rating 4 out of 5]

This author writes about her experience during a natural event and how it changed her future. Her loss is reflected in her words.

The spiritual journey inside the pages is shared through prose and poetry. It is a heartfelt battle filled with honest yearning for knowledge and it is sought with an active hunger to reach a healing point.

Set in North Carolina, her story unfolds with spiritual guidance and the mission she is on takes precedence throughout this slim volume.

Viewing uncontrollable circumstances with a purpose to overcome them and becoming effective in solving a crisis situation through a spiritual relationship is reflected often by this writer's words.

The book is dedicated to the volunteers of Hurricane Isabel and Hurricane Ophelia. Recovery and inspiration are addressed along with the simple things in life that make a big difference.
