The Page 69 Test: *From Turmoil to Peace* by Delia E. Hayward #page69

 

 

 

They say if you want to really find a good book, go to page 69 (the middle and meat of the book) and you like what's there, it's definitely worth reading the whole book. For today's feature, I'm zooming in on page 69 of Delia E. Hayward's new Christian memoir, From Turmoil to Peace. 

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Delia Hayward, one of eight children, grew up during the Hippie Era in a dysfunctional family, for whom emotional and physical abuse was a normal occurrence of her childhood. Her marriage further deteriorated what little self-esteem she retained from her childhood.

Perhaps these torments are what made her desperately seek God and a personal relationship with Him.

When her marriage fell apart, she rose to the challenge of raising three sons alone. With the help of God and sheer determination, Delia managed to instill positive self-esteem and a love for God into the hearts of the next generation.

As you read this book, may you also find hope in the midst of your storm, and may God bring you from turmoil to peace.

From Turmoil to Peace is available at Amazon and Barnes&Noble.

When I became pregnant with our second child, I was as excited as I had been with our first. Joshua was also excited about getting a baby brother or sister. My health insurance paid for all the hospital bills; I also had long-term insurance that paid me three quarters of my salary for three months while I stayed home with my newborn baby boy.
I had a natural childbirth with our second son because of what happened when I had Joshua. I didn’t want to chance becoming so sick a second time from the epidural that my baby would be kept from me, so I decided to just bear the pain. While in the hospital I started singing, “Hush, Little Baby” to him when he cried. We named our second son Jacob, and he was so cute I just wanted to eat him up.

What do you think? Would you keep reading?
