Forever Amazed
PUBLICATION DATE: March 31, 2026
What began on a simple gravel road in rural Saskatchewan became a lifelong journey of saying yes to Jesus—Anywhere, Anytime, Any Cost. In this honest and hope-filled memoir, the author reflects on more than seven decades of following Christ through global ministry, unexpected detours, deep loss, and daily grace. From classrooms to continents, she discovers that God’s purposes unfold one surrendered step at a time. Anywhere invites readers to consider their own path of obedience, courage, and trust—and to marvel at what God can do through even the most fragile clay pots placed in His hands.
