No life is ordinary when God's faithfulness is present-a lesson Rebecca Biegert Conti learns to her lasting joy. Despite tragedies, Conti continues to trust in God and experiences his faithfulness time and time again.
A collection of intimate personal narratives, essays, letters, and journal entries, Crooked Tree recounts one woman's relationship with God over a span of sixty-plus years.
Conti writes of how she first came to God as a young college student. She shares the tragedy of her brother's death and the life-affirming epiphany he experiences shortly before he died. She shares the joy of motherhood with four children, the pain of divorce, the challenges of single life at age forty-five, and the wonder of a powerful encounter with God in the Grand Canyon that prepared her for a new chapter in her life.
These are tales of love and loss, of forgiveness, healing, and redemption. While Conti's stories are her own, they have an emotional strength recognizable to anyone who walks with God. And despite tragedy and sorrow, she never loses her sense of humor, her hope for the future, or her faith in God.
