Linda Brumley was served “beggar’s purses” in a dim sum restaurant, and she made an apt analogy: Just as tasty morsels were placed in the wonton wrap in this appetizer, so God places in our beggar’s purses whatever we need for life and godliness. We must simply come to him with humility, admitting our spiritual poverty and need for his grace.
A woman who “laughs at the days to come,” Linda is known for her deep and insightful faith. She shares personal confession in every chapter, enabling a connection with the reader that is borne of common aspirations and familiar shortcomings.
Telling about the loss of both breasts to cancer, her husband’s health challenges, her mother’s Alzheimer’s disease, and the day-to-day happenings of life, Linda takes us on her journey for faith.
