Wendy is not only a sister in ministry but a sweet friend who shares my passion for helping women learn that putting our trust in Jesus and truly believing He has our present and futures in His hands is the only way to endure all the uncertainties and struggles of life and maintain peace in our hearts along the way. Jesus Everlasting not only helps readers grasp the gift Jesus really is, but also the importance of making Gods Word a priority in our lives and the immense blessings we receive when we do so.

Who do you say I am? Thats a question Jesus asked of His disciples, the men who walked with Him daily. Its also a question He asks of us today. Im captivated with Wendys warm and inviting way of introducing us to this same Jesus. When a sea of experts overwhelm us with worldly advice, Wendy offers Jesus, the wise Counselor who truly listens and cares. When we feel alone and overwhelmedand we all doWendy draws us in to meet Jesus our Defender, teaching us how to stand firm while battles rage in the heavenlies. Sprinkled with personal stories, this book helps us understand Jesus as Father and Friend. Each precious chapter reveals a powerful characteristic of the Son of God, and after each one, I imagine Wendy stepping back with a smile to allow the reader to spend time with Jesus through worship and journaling. Trust me, we need Jesus right now. In this book, Wendy reaches out, takes you by the hand, and leads you right to the very heart of our Savior. When you do, youll be comforted, defended, cherished, and at peace.

The love of our Savior is poured out on each page, and we are invited to drink deeply from the well of Living Water. Wendy writes with an eternal perspective, keeping our eyes on and highlighting the trustworthiness of our Counselor, Defender, Father, and Friend.
