Biographies are one of my favorite books I enjoy reading,
especially those that inspire as much as this one does. Beyond Ashes is the story of Marlyn Olsen Vistaunet who was born to
Seventh-day Adventist missionaries in Mexico. She tells her story with honesty
and clarity. She was kidnapped as a three year old in Mexico, lost a brother
after a house fire, was drugged and raped as an adult and has been able to use
these traumas and disappointments of the past as stepping-stones, preparing her
for a love relationship with Christ and a life of service to His cause.
It is a fascinating story with lots of good and bad things happening
to Maryln but overall one gets to see in reading this biography how wonderful it
is to see God leading Maryln through and out of so many trials.
