{"product_id":"9781490836171","title":"God Didn't Have to Make the Crickets Sing: A Gripping True Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eHave you ever wondered about those crickets—you know, the little black insects that rub something together to make chirping sounds when it seems extra hot and sticky? I never did. Oh, sure, I heard their chirps in the evenings when I was trying to go to sleep, and I knew that it was part of the natural world. But there was no meaning beyond that—not until a wondrous moment when God used their melody to catch my attention. Even though I became a Christian at fourteen and loved the Lord Jesus Christ, I was heavily and passionately pursuing the American Dream with my husband—until it began self-destructing job by job. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhat do you do when dream after dream in your life is destroyed—when there seems to be no stability or sanity? You fall apart, or at least I did. Time after time, my light turned to darkness and my hope was shattered. That was the point at which God wrote His beautiful melody and opened my heart so that I could hear it.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIn a beautiful, but extremely painful way, God used this destruction to introduce me to a deeper, intimate relationship with Him when I heard the song—His song. Hopefully, you will hear it too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WestBow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167495045360,"sku":"9781490836171","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781490836171_p0.jpg?v=1763657821","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781490836171","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
