Standing In God's Will

If you need motivated or inspired; If you feel life has given you a lemon; then, you need to read "Standing Together" by Carlos and Rosemarie Evans. Carlos joined the marines to serve our country and on his fourth deployment he stepped on an IED losing both legs and his left arm. Even though Carlos is a Christian, there were times during his recovery when he became angry and depressed. Rosemarie, also a Christian, had her faith tested during Carlos's recovery but she stayed by his side through thick and thin. This story allows the reader to experience what it is like to serve in the military and come back injured. The ups and downs. The sadness and the joy. But mostly how God used this experience to strengthen the Evans marriage while creating a new vocation for Carlos. It was a blessing for me to read this book to learn more about what wounded warriors experience. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Read with Audra. https://www.audrajennings.com/2019/08/StandingTogetherTour.htm https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Carlos+Evans
