“What an honor and privilege to read and be a witness to Misty’s incredible testimony! She writes with such vulnerability, authenticity & honesty. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put the book down! This is a story of redemption and God’s love for us! He doesn’t promise we won’t have hardships in this life, but He promises He will always be there!”

“He Was Always There is an amazing book about the harsh realities this world has to offer, met with the softening love of a transforming Savior. Misty pours out her heart in each chapter, exposing the cold dark world she once lived in, and ends each chapter with a glimpse into how a mighty God can make you new. This is a book for all people to see that God is always there even when you don’t know it or even choose it, and how surrender can change everything!”

“Like Misty, I struggled with my identity for many years, using a variety of things to quiet the storm swirling inside of me. I had no idea I was even hurting because people don’t like to talk about pain or trauma or anything that might hint they are human and actually experience something other than joy. Our world, which is laden with filters and facades, needs the vulnerability that Misty so naturally weaves with encouragement and biblical Truth. Having read her story, I am changed. You will be, too.”

“I read the entire book on the flight home from Germany!!!! You did a great job! It was an emotional ride reading of so many of the events of your past- some details I knew, others I didn’t, many I was blessed to walk alongside you through!!!! I loved going back and seeing God’s hand in all the missed vasectomy appointments, Saylor’s birth, Sage’s life (so many tears)! And I can remember exactly where I was sitting when you told me you were pregnant with Asher AND adopting Izzy! It made me miss you so very much!!!!”

“Good morning! I know how I am with reading. It’s very hard for me to put a book down so I made sure to give myself an uninterrupted schedule. I sat and read your book in one sitting and it was so worth it. Beautiful book. Just beautiful. I loved the reflections at the end of every chapter. That was probably my most favorite part of it all. Although I know your story it was so special to read it knowing who you are. I’ve never experienced that before. Thank you for sharing the manuscript and for the special note. I’m very touched by all of it. Congratulations and I can’t wait to see what your future holds.”
