The cover reads: The true story of a remarkable woman’s south of the border adventures and miraculous faith in God. Charla’s Children by Charla Pereau is not the most eloquently written book I’ve ever read, but the beauty of this book is not just words, but the true life adventures of a woman who discovered she had a great big God in her, and this God had a huge adventure for her. When you read this you can be thinking about the adventure you have started this year. Each one of you is taking a step toward a God adventure. Each one of you is writing a story about something you can’t stand. Something God has put on your heart, because He can’t stand it either. Charla couldn’t bare to see these lost, hurting, starving, homeless, hopeless, abused, and exploited children, and she and God did something about it. You are going to get to experience her adventure first hand, but even before that you can start living your own God adventure as you write your stories!
NOTE: I have only one copy of this book in the library, and I believe Mrs. Sullivan has a copy. You can order the book from the FFHM website www.ffhm.org
