In a conversational style, Vivian shares how God comforted her when her husband, a police officer for twenty-two years, died after a struggle with depression related to alcohol dependence and recovery following an unanticipated early retirement. Sections include devotionals; practical ways to cope with your loss; help and hope for those with depression and anxiety; guidance for those struggling with addiction; and encouragement for those dealing with loved ones with depression and addiction. Asleep in Jesus offers hope-an eternal hope that those who belong to Jesus are safely held in His hands even as we grieve their absence. Vivian's supernatural gift from God in her deepest point of despair is a gift to all of us who need to know we are not alone.

Tell us a little about yourself. I enjoy beach picnics and sunsets. I like to sing and praise the Lord and share my faith in Christ with others. I am a Momma of two. I am amazed to see the wonders and grace of God each day as we are all ordinary people with an extraordinary God who loves us all through His Son Jesus and calls us by name and gives us a purpose to live for Him and serve Him for His glory.

How were you personally impacted by working on this project? It was the Lord Jesus through the power of His Holy Spirit who encouraged and inspired me to write my story.
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? My number one inspiration is the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word. I also enjoy listening to my church pastors as well as other pastors and teachers through books, devotionals, and websites. I love praise and worship music by different Christian artists.
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: I would like readers and listeners to know and remember we have a wonderful God in heaven who hears and answers our prayers according to His good and perfect will. God loves to hear and answer our prayers in the name of Jesus and be glorified among His people.
