(Living in the Light of Heaven on Earth)
By Roxanne Wermuth with Peter Lundell



Description

Marked By Heaven. Living Eternity on Earth.   

Driven by her ruthless career ambition and Type A personality, Roxanne Wermuth was unwittingly following the path of her abusive, perfectionist father. Yet, it was only after receiving a diagnosis of the most severe form of Multiple Sclerosis that she fell victim to deep depression and the overwhelming desire to take her own life. It was then that one glimpse of Heaven changed everything.   Near death and in a 24-hour coma, Roxanne caught a glimpse of the outskirts of Heaven. Under a deep blue eternity . . . flowers bloomed, colorful and vivid, beyond human description . . .
 
Eternity put everything into perspective.
 
After losing her hair due to treatment for her illness, Roxanne—not without reservation— tattooed the flowers of heaven onto her scalp.
 
The flowers inked on my head are an expression of what God inked on my heart.
 
Making a radical statement to everyone she meets, Roxanne remains a walking billboard for the beauty—despite the pain—in this world and the world to come.
 
Whether struggling with relationships, loss, anger, depression, or chronic illness, Inked for Eternity will give you hope and inspiration to come out strong on the other side of hard times and help you rewrite your future.
 
This inspirational story will have you living in the light of God’s presence, realizing that afflictions are temporary and what is unseen is eternal.

My Thoughts ~

This author's story is a difficult one. Her abuse as a youngster affected the greater part of her life, until spiritual healing began. A poignant life story in every way, my heart broke for the author as one difficulty led to another as her life progressed. Her relationship with God became her stronghold as she overcame many obstacles that would break someone without her personal and spiritual strength.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who has struggled with abuse, power control and chronic illness. This book is a learning tool for everyone as the author's story is a powerful testimony of living through adversity.
