Beth Guckenberger and her husband, Todd, are the founders of
Back2Back Ministries. Beth travels and speaks regularly at women's and
missions conferences, as well as youth gatherings and church services.
Her topics include orphan care, missions, parenting, marriage/intimacy,
and faith. Her story-telling style captures audiences, and she draws
from her field experience as a missionary and parent for illustrations
to biblical concepts. In addition to her latest release, Tales of the Not Forgotten (Standard Publishing 2012), Beth has written Relentless Hope (Standard, 2011) and Reckless Faith
(Zondervan, 2008). The Guckenberger family lives and serves in
Monterrey, Mexico where they have hosted thousands of guests on their
ministry campus. Between biological, foster, and adopted additions to
their family, Beth and Todd are raising nine children.My Review:
In this book you are invited along to take a long, hard look into five children's lives that seem they will never catch a break. Not until God intervenes and changes everything for them, anyway. The author as a missionary has heard many stories like the ones she writes about. She has opened up her heart, thoughts and memories to show us how God lives and breathes through the hearts of these children. And how he has manifested himself in their lives and the lives of others for His ultimate glory.
She tells you in the beginning of the book that some of the stories maybe hard to read but need to be told anyway so that you can see God through the many trials that these children have faced. God brought them through it all.
The Lord works out everything to its proper end. Proverbs 16:4
I believe the author wants to make it known to the world that there are children like these everywhere and that these stories are endless. As long as there is a God they will be cared for. Just as he cares for the sparrow He will see to it that they are cared for.
“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” (Matthew 6:26)
