Overview

Annie's life was difficult from the beginning. Born in the ghetto of Memphis, her teenage abusive mother, told her it would have been better had Annie never been born and because she would not make it past third grade, she was hopeless. The odds of Annie succeeding in life were slim. She didn't know anything about faith or courage at the time--but God had a different plan. Using implausible circumstances, God sent a complete stranger into her life, who, with her love, transformed everything. Against all odds Annie graduated from college and became a successful teacher, news broadcaster, talk show host, parent and award-winning realtor. Her story is extraordinary, but her message is simple: No matter what you've been through, or what you might be going through now, God is with you. This beautiful story will make you laugh, and cry as it also inspires you to become that one person who might change everything for those around you.

Annie Farris' story is one of the most powerful testimonies I've read in a long, long time. It's a story of overcoming and victory in this sad and broken world. --Pat Boone, Celebrity, Entertainer, Recording Artist Minister, TV, Movies, Radio a powerful example of faith, hope, and love, that readers will be inspired to recognize and act upon, in their own multiple circles of influence. It multiplies the impact of a life-changing story whose time has come to be told. As one small candle can light a thousand, in this memoir, the candle Mrs. T lit in Annie's life, sets Annie on a trajectory to light thousands more. --Marina and Scott Miller, Deputy Governor of the State of California of the Mayflower Descendants. This wonderful, uplifting book reminds us that even when we think we can't do much to help someone, we can and should. Jeremiah 21:11 says... 'I know the plans I have for you...to give you a future and a hope'. Some of us will know how we touched others. Most of the time, we never really know the end of the story. This is one where we do. Annie is a wonderful servant of God. She watches to see where she can help and follows through. I'm sure it's all due to her own story of the one person that changed her life. --Laurey Venn, Founder of Christian Women's Luncheon Fellowship, Orange County, CA Annie shows in her memoir that life is all about relationships, and that one relationship (one person) can change the course of a life. She shares the healing power that God has built into relationships, to mend and heal our broken hearts and lives. 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (Mark 12:31) --Scott Grooms, Ph.D., LMFT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (21 years), ordained pastor (20 Years), Graduate Professor at Hope International University (17 years) Annie's story is awe inspiring. As a case manager at a drug and alcohol treatment center for ten years, I have experienced how one person's belief in another's broken life can make the difference between life and death. --Diane Shaw, Senior Case Manager, Cornerstone Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center of Southern California. Annie's story touched me in so many ways, reminding me of what can be accomplished through our belief in Jesus Christ...that it is not the world that defines us but rather God's vision of us. All of us have gone through trials in life but Annie shows us that if we just persist and work hard, we can do so much more than we ever imagined. Thank you, Annie, for reminding me of that fact. I think Paul puts my sentiments towards Annie and her book beautifully in Philippians 1:3-6: 'I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you, always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.' You are one of the Victorious in Christ . --Jeanne Zenk, Women's Bible Study Facilitator, Christ Follower. Useful and touching...this is a wonderful piece! A beautiful memoir of a human heart. As her story reveals, with God, we find the strength and peace to 'grow through' the pain and hardship. So many humans survive...in silence. --Kelli Chandler, Owner/CEO VIVIFY-Life Elevation & Solutions
