After the Locusts

After the Locusts

(2 customer reviews)

Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year went by as the horror of addiction clung mercilessly to our sons. We had rescued and helped them, shamed and rejected them. We had prayed and sought counsel, argued and become numb. They entered treatment centers and recovery programs but nothing made any difference. We were on a bobsled of grief that was plummeting into hell with no way to stop it or get off. We railed at God, "So, what happened? Didn't we have an agreement? We did the best we could. How could you let this happen?" After the Locusts is based on a mother's true tale of how God mercifully redeemed her family after decades of addiction; proving faithful to His promise that He will restore the years of our lives that the locusts have eaten.

Inspiring to those of us who've been there and those who are there now Feb 13, 2009
By Jordan F. Hight II "jordan"
Wow, great read. It's always inspiring to hear true accounts of God's faithfulness. For me, stories like these help with the "Bad things to good people" question. In hindsight His plan is sometimes reassuringly apparent. Reading this story made me remember that. I think it has the power to show other people that as well. For anyone that has dealt with or is dealing with alcoholism in your family this book lets you know you're not alone and gives a great example of the power of prayer.

Heartfelt Truth Mar 29, 2009
By C. A. Fields
One of the reasons I like this book is because I can relate to it. The author told her story with honesty and truth which I would think is very hard to do publicly. I definitely recommend After the Locusts. The book brought to mind the fact that we are reminded of a time in our lifes we would wish never happened, but that we are much richer now for surviving and still having our families in tact. Thank you Mary for sharing.
