Publisher Description
One Step of Obedience Led to Thousands Irene and Domingo Garcia began their married lives at sixteen, already expecting a baby. Their first ten years together included Domingo’s alcoholism and abuse, and Irene’s desperate prayers for answers. Then a miracle happened: Domingo pleaded for forgiveness. As God healed their marriage, Irene and Domingo adopted a little girl. And a new season began for an imperfect couple who were willing to say yes to each other and to God. Over the past forty-five years, the Garcias have birthed, fostered, or adopted thirty-two children. Their story holds difficult endings as well as promising new beginnings. Above all, their story reminds us what can happen when ordinary people submit to God’s call. Rich in Love is about a family cemented in hope. About a need to love the orphan. And about a God who never, ever gives up.
Customer Reviews
Every Christian should read this!
I don't often give books a five star rating. I save it for the truly special books that have touched my heart.
I am blown away continuously in how God can turn our messed up lives into His glorious purposes. The Garcia family is incredibly inspirational and at the same time challenging. Exactly like a well done biblical sermon.
Take a moment and read this book please. I got it for free on iTunes and at the same time it was free on Amazon. It is wonderful that their Savior is obviously much more important to them than their pocket book as they now that God is faithful in meeting their needs.
I thank my gracious Savior Jesus Christ for loving me unconditionally even when I am unlovable. I also thank Him for giving His people the ability to communicate eloquently their walk in words to inspire us all on our sojourn. Read this book!
