We are so excited to kick off season three of Living Grace! Enjoy this episode as Cheryl Brodersen interviews Celeste Bowers, author of If There's a Mailbox in Heaven. Celeste shares the powerful story of her daughter, Christina, as she was an absolute joy and lover of Jesus. Christina was diagnosed with a rare cancer and passed away in 2005, but the impact she left has been astounding. The book focuses less on the cancer itself and more on Christina's witness and powerful engagement she had with people all around her. Christina has been such an example to us, as she would say, "It's not about me. It's about Christ working through me." Celeste shares that, through this journey, she and Christina made a deal to not say, "Why me," but, "Use me, Lord." You don't want to miss this! Learn more about If There's a Mailbox in Heaven.

Watch as Nancy explains the amazing resolution and lesson she has learned when facing the “Greener Grass Syndrome!” Nancy’s book, “Avoiding Greener Grass Syndrome” is available on multiple outlets for purchase.
