Quicksand: Getting to the Bottom (Eugenia D. Bigham)

Quicksand

Getting to the Bottom

Truth shines bright in life’s darkest hour. One perilous moment can change our lives forever, as when the Ripley baby suddenly falls overboard. But the simple faith and enduring trust of average, everyday people demonstrate that God is good. As the story builds, its colorful characters will inspire readers to take steps of faith with confidence, knowing that God keeps His promises. “The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him” (Nahum 1:7).
