What happens when life doesn't turn out the way we plan? What if life's disappointments are more than we can handle? Shattered Dreams to Treasured Truths answers these questions and more. Donna Nabors shares her shattered dreams as a young minister's wife in a marriage engulfed by sexual addiction, lies, emotional and physical abuse. She shares how her disappointments were transformed with her spiritual jewelry box. Expanding on this analogy, gemstones are used to represent five key items each woman needs including diamonds of faith, sapphires of strength, rubies of love, amethysts of peace, and emeralds of hope. Experiences alone provide nothing but interesting reading without application to the individual. Donna provides that application by encouraging the reader to fill their heart with treasured truths from God's Word making them second nature in everyday life. She shares stories from her past and stories of women in scripture experiencing a myriad of disappointments. There is a common factor in each transformation showing how women can live beyond their own shattered dreams. Wherever a woman finds herself today, she can step into tomorrow adorned with gemstones of faith, strength, love, peace, and hope.
