Prayer Paves the Way: Inspiring Reflections on Living with the Holy Spirit - Hardcover

by Marilyn Bodine (Author), Patricia Leach (With)

Prayer Paves the Way is the inspiring life story of a spiritual leader and teacher as she embarked on a sacred journey that taught her about the incredible power of the Holy Spirit.

While growing up in the Midwest, Marilyn Bodine lived a comfortable life full of activity and affection. Unfortunately, her idyllic environment left her ill-prepared for the monumental challenges that faced her in her early teens-a polio epidemic that left her with a life-long disability and the tumultuous divorce of her parents that elicited gossip and unwanted stares. As these two life-altering events left her angry, frustrated, and hopeless, Marilyn had no idea that these dark moments would be the catalyst that would lead her to God.

In an inspirational retelling of her life story and God's miraculous love, Marilyn chronicles her unexpected spiritual journey as she battled her completely useless legs, the fear that they would never get better, her parents' expectations for achievement, and the relentless anger which she wore as a garment for many years. As she learned to surrender her broken heart to God, He began healing her. Her healing brought her into relationship with the Holy Spirit and she became witness to astounding miracles.

This book illustrates the power of forgiveness and how the Holy Spirit guides us if we allow Him. Marilyn's experiences have the potential to lead seekers into a deeper relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
