New Book Release: From The Pages of Their Diaries

An excerpt  from the book, From The Pages of Their Diaries
by Lisa Evans

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.  He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.” 
1 John 4:7-8



We were hurt, rejected, abused, and forgotten. We cried, we got angry, and we retaliated.  Alas, though it took us some time, we learned that we could not blame anyone for the hurt that we encountered as we sought to find love.  The men who inflicted pain on our hearts did not genuinely know the love of God.  Likewise, we were afflicted because we did not know God’s love either.  Men and women equally play a part in the great disconnect between what God’s love is and what man’s love has become.

Love is not something exclusively for beautiful women, rich women, “lucky” women, or perfectly sized ten women; love is an intricate part of every woman’s make-up.  We were created in love and out of the love that God had for us.  This would explain why the pursuit of or for love drives us into relationships that, in many cases, are more damaging than rewarding.  Have you ever wondered if there is anyone else in the world that has been through what you’ve gone through and is willing to admit it?  Talk about it?  Who knows the real story behind the pain you withstood all in the pursuit of love?  From the Pages of Their Diaries are entries from the diaries of women who longed to be loved but discovered that love was not an easy find, particularly when one looks for it outside of the will of God. 

As you turn the pages of this book, perhaps you will be able to identify some of these women.  Maybe these women are women you know personally: your mother, your aunt, your sister, or your friend.  You might possibly discover that one or more of these women could even be telling your story as written in your own private diary. 

Whatever reason exists as to why you have chosen to read this book, I hope that you will read it in light of the women that you know or have heard about who fit the descriptions of the women on these pages.  I pray that you take the pledge to send From the Pages of Their Diaries to women who need to understand that real love, genuine love begins with knowing God.
