ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

          Ultimately, Jesus is the author (Hebrews 12:2) and without Him this work would not be available or possible. He is the One who challenged Pam to pen the words and compile the widow stories already written in the Word of God. He is the One who wants you to know how much He loves you in your time of grief and loss. And, so does Pam. Even though she is not a widow, she desires for you to see the Father’s hand in your life, to hear Jesus calling your name and to feel the Spirit comfort you. For God sees you. Jesus hears you. The Spirit truly is there to comfort you. He promises to never leave you or forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5)

          Pam and her husband, Roger, live in northwestern Pa. The Lord has blessed them with a daughter, Meredith and her husband, Dave, a son, Kyle and his wife, Talia, and four very grand grandchildren!

          She and her husband presently attend the East Smethport United Christian Church where she teaches the ladies’ Bible study. 

          Pam has been the ladies retreat speaker for the Association of Evangelical Churches, Inc. through which she earned her license to preach the Gospel in 2013. “P3 Ministries”, Prison to Praise with Pam Ministries, is a recognized member of this association to declare that the Gospel of Jesus Christ releases us from “The Prison of Sin to Praising the Lord”.

          Her mission trips include Honduras, Ecuador, Africa and Colombia as well as preaching the Gospel at the local jail for four years.    

SUMMARY:

          Jesus invites you to open up the pages of this devotional to discover God’s love, compassion, comfort and provision for this season of grief in your life. He is in every one of these twelve widow stories written in the Word of God. The stories are true and these women existed so you can hear their widow story speak to your heart to help heal and restore your loss as you turn to Jesus Christ, Our Savior.

          God desires to meet with you personally on every page. He longs for you to turn to Him and hear His personal message of comfort for you in each passage. He draws near to you and hears your cry and will bring you up out of your sorrow. He will place your feet upon the rock of Jesus Christ, His Son, and help you take each step of faith. He will put a new song in your mouth so others will come to trust in the Lord because of your widow story.

          May the words of Psalm 40:1-3 speak to your heart and draw you to Him:

“And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear, And will trust in the Lord.”
