Publisher's Description

▼▲

Throughout much of my married life, I lived under the illusion that I had it all together - it was everyone else that needed fixing. Several years into my second marriage my husband, a Deputy Sheriff, became a workaholic and was never home. Meanwhile, I became a volunteeraholic, too busy to face the fact that we had become two strangers under one roof, raising three kids. God revealed Himself to me through the different women I volunteered with. As my heart slowly opened to God's presence, my marriage came crashing down around me. As I cried out for God's help, I discovered my husband's affair. I found myself surrounded by faithful people who gave me the strength to face the problems in my marriage and the tools needed to begin fixing it. Over the next four years, my husband's health deteriorated and he was forced to retire. Through this God continually showed me I was In His Way and then, when He knew He had my attention, He would proceed to show me how to do things In His Way. In the end, what God told me to do, saved my husband's life, and our marriage. What was broken is now fixed by the grace and love of God.

This is a great story. I identified with many points in Ms. Duvall's story. I applaud her honesty and willingness to open her life for others to see the good, the bad and the divine. After reading this true-life story, I have resolved to make more attempts to get out of God's way in my own life! Linda Bello-Ruiz, author of From Tears to Triumph, My Journey to The House of Hope.

A Candid Testimony of Surrendering to God's Will

February 5, 2015

Heidi

Rebecca Duvall's very candid account of her marriage and life as a non-believer, and then of her journey as a new Christian, reads like a personal journal. Duvall writes about her second marriage crumbling and her husband's chronic health issues with unflinching honesty. She includes an "In My Head" section in each chapter that describes what she was thinking and feeling at the time, which really helps the reader identify and relate with her struggles. Duvall explores what many of us have felt at one time or another, the "I don't deserve this" and "he's the one who needs to change, not me" attitude. And, once Duvall opens her heart to the Lord, she realizes she's still praying for God to fix others instead of asking Him to do His will in her life. In His Way

is a testimony that when we get "out" of His way, and surrender to His will, our life will be transformed.

I could not put this book down! I so appreciated Rebecca Duvall's courage in writing this book... The story of her life so far. I was reminded again how God never wastes the suffering we go through. Rebecca has been through a lot... Hard times before she knew God personally and the hard times continued after she began walking with the Lord. Through it all, He has never left her side. Thank you, Rebecca for writing this book and reminding us all that God is trustworthy, that He is working all things for good for those who put their trust in Him. Through her experience, God has worked miracles and even when He seems silent, she has come to trust Him - that He is in control and will never abandon her. I hope many read this book. They will be glad they did!

I just finished this book and am truly amazed at the strength, courage and honesty that exudes from Rebecca's writings. This is a book that I didn't want to put down because I was anxious to find out what happens next in her quest to love and trust in God. She was able to not only pull through things in her life that most of us would not be able to, but to turn much adversity into learning experiences and spiritual growth. With brutal honesty she shares her struggles and triumphs. A must read!

The Title "In His Way" is a little misleading. Here I thought I was going to be reading a story about "obedience" and being in God's will.... NOPE. That's not what it's about. I read this book in a day! When the author describes what was going on inside her head as opposed to what was revealed on the outside, it was honest and raw. I think this is one of those books that will speak to people differently. What I got out of it won't be what someone else gets out of it. So I'm just gonna say "Read it and let it hit you however it hits you".

If you've had kids, been divorced, been married, lost a parent, or ever tried to live up to someone else's expectations... this book is for you!

Author/Artist Review

Author: Rebecca Duvall

Tell us a little about yourself. I'm a wife and mother of three. I was born and raised in Northern California. I enjoy long hot summers and sometimes wish I could hibernate in the winter. I studied Accounting after High School and worked in the Accounting field until I decided to be a stay at home mom when my first two children were 4 and 6. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends as well as meeting new people and hearing how God is working in their lives.

What was your motivation behind this project? God put it on my heart the importance of sharing our stories about the trials and triumphs we face so that it may be an encouragement to others.

What do you hope folks will gain from this project? I hope this book will help everyone who reads it know the love God has for them. I hope it will help point them to God. I hope it will help them know a marriage doesn't have to end just because it gets hard and mistakes are made. I hope they know God wants to help them and is simply waiting for them to ask for it.

How were you personally impacted by working on this project? Writing this book helped me look back and truly acknowledge God and all of the many miracles and blessings I have received from Him. It gave me a deeper love for God and a desire to know Him better. I was able to look back on my life and see that God was there watching over me, even when I didn't acknowledge Him.

Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? My inspiration comes from God and the many amazing people He has surrounded me with. I'm influenced, inspired and amazed, daily, by the love, grace and mercy I received from God everyday.

Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: I know life can be tough at times and sometimes unbearable, but God has a purpose and a plan for your life. Seek Him and He will reveal it to you. God Bless!
