Life's Hardest Minute

ABOUT THE BOOK: Take a refreshing walk through the life of a teenager learning about her newly found God. From sharing with the homeless in London, to coffee barges floating through Belgian canals; from waking up each morning in a different country, to rescuing Vietnamese "boat people," the effervescent Anne Allen Blesse never wanted a boring life. This is the story of how God granted her wish. Through personal letters written home during her years with the international missionary group "Operation Mobilization," we learn about young Anne as she grows into the person God created her to be. Her eagerness to share God's love through her life stood in sharp contrast to the countercultures of the 1970's. Our walk takes us down many paths as Anne matures from an 18-year old eager to save the world to a young woman who came to accept what she saw as yet another gift from her God-cancer. **** ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Sharon File is a new author whose love of writing found its purpose in telling the Anne Blesse story. File's first Christian biography bloomed after hearing Anne speak about her God and His faithfulness. The words, "Her story needs to be told," echoed in Sharon's mind; she felt honored to become Anne's friend and share the story about this young woman whose faith was so real. Mrs. File lives in central California with her husband of 43 years, Larry. Their four adult children also live in California and she is called "Grandma" by Hannah, Avery, Logan, and Kate Fong; Morgan, Carter, and Benett Volek; and Elijah, Lawrence, Delaney, and Langston File.
