Editorial Reviews
Review
Your life began with a very difficult situation, but you are still walking with the Lord and you are a model of faith. Thank you for sharing your journey. – Pastor Wayne Cordeiro, New Hope Ranch
“Blessed” is the life story of Suzanne Maurer (Mom), and it is a reflection of a remarkable journey from trial to triumph, and it is in equal parts both engaging and endearing. Sometimes, a book allows you to journey with the author as a spectator, and very rarely, life allows you the privilege to become both a contributor and a companion. In this book, Mom captures resilience and commitment to living as moments and memories brilliantly and lovingly. This effort in prose and picture is a tribute to her ability to overcome and her availability to help others do the same. Read it to be blessed, receive it, and then forward the effort to bless others. – Krish Dhanam, Author and Speaker
Life is a precious gift. Suzanne’s redemption story touches the very heart of God, that starting in the womb we already have inestimable value, and equally important – be told about the ultimate gift – eternal life! – Janet Hochberg, Former Executive Director – Hawaii Right to Life
Inspirational! That summarizes Suzanne’s life story. Her life is a testimony that God can do extraordinary things through ordinary people. God has given her opportunities to meet many prominent people, but she remains humble and gives glory to God for the ability to touch countless lives with the gospel of Christ. – Morris Isara, Author of Shelley’s Story
Suzanne Maurer’s memoir reads like a novel. It’s filled with a captivating combination of exhilarating joy and devastating sorrow-but the reader is always aware of the power of renewed hope, enduring faith, and purposeful living. Suzanne’s book provides us with a model of how to overcome adversity so we can live for things that will outlast our lives. – Carol Kent, Speaker, Author, and Founder of Speak Up Ministries, When I Lay My Isaac Down (NavPress) and He Holds My Hand (Tyndale)
Amazing book
As I look around at all the people we know on this planet, very few people today have really challenged me in living out my faith. Suzanne has been one of these rare people that so lives out her faith, she actually makes me want to be more like her. Her love for people, her enthusiasm for life, her kindness and passion for Jesus overflows in everything she does.
The challenges she has faced in this life and her attitude towards them is deeply inspiring as they all point to her love and trust for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The times I have spent with her and the conversations we’ve had have left me wanting more, more time talking, more time listening to her and more time watching her live out her faith.
Deeply Touched by her life. – Eileen Marx, Co- founder – All Things Possible Ministries
In a time when we see so many well-known Christians falling short, Suzanne’s book BLESSED! is the opposite. She exemplifies what a follower of Jesus Christ can do and be in this world. She is a light and having known her for many years and worked with her in ministry, I’ve seen her character, love, faithfulness, and steadfastness, which have encouraged me. Reading her book BLESSED! is a quick read of encouragement and inspiration for truly being a disciple and making disciples. I highly recommend this and thank God for her being our spiritual mother. – Victor Marx, President and Founder of ATP Ministries
Suzanne Maurer has ministered to my family and me like a soothing ointment on our deepest pain and the oil of joy to our greatest news. BLESSED! Rape to Redemption to Rewards vibrantly testifies how Jesus Christ, her wellspring of love, tenderly touches each person in her life, offering readers a gift we all long for: HOPE. – Rev. Danny Yamashiro, Ph.D. – MIT Chaplain and Host of The Good Life Radio/Podcast
Morris Isara, a Christian counselor and wonderful friend, has published three books Suzanne highly recommends. Look for them on Amazon.
