In My Father's House - 9781453886564

Have you ever found yourself at the end of a struggle having learned a lesson that you never expected to learn? After the death of her Pastor, Rev. Venus, Isadella reflects back on her circumstances and the factors that have influenced her life. Growing up as a child in the pre-civil rights movement South, she was raised by her grandmother with close family relationships. Isadella witnessed the persecution of her people, and her family experienced one tragedy after another. Then, Isadella's grandmother decided to move the family to Washington, D.C. where they joined a nondenominational Christian Church. The pastor of the church challenged Isadella's personal theology time after time, and she struggled to make sense of his teachings and actions, living her life in accord with God's will for her. It was through these challenges that Isadella learns to let herself go and let God direct her life, ultimately finding Christ's peace. Bessie Downing's In My Family House is an inspiring story of a woman who, through sticking to her convictions, finds that her life isn't as far from God as she may have thought.
