Synopsis

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Forrest's mama was right. Perhaps today life will offer you some great thrill. Or maybe what will come out of the box is an assortment of heartache—the kind that forever changes the way you live and relate to others. Regardless of the mix, you can always count on each day containing truffles from heaven.

Truffles from heaven are morsels of God's love and comfort that come individually wrapped in all shapes and sizes. Sometimes it may be a person divinely placed at a critical moment in your life. Other times, a penetrating verse of Scripture. Occasionally it is something material, like a favorite flavor of yogurt. Whatever the kind, God's truffles all share this in comon: they are choice gifts personally selected from the riches of His grace and gently placed in the palm of your life.

From the gift box of her own life, author Kali Schnieders offers a selection of truffles wrapped in a heart-felt prayer: that you, too, may "taste and see" God's heavenly truffles and know that He loves you.

Kali poured her pain into a purpose speaking to other families at risk.
