Lynette's Hope

In frank and poignant prose, Lynette's journals, newsletters, and website chronicled her struggles in the 'valley of the shadow' as she faced impending death. Close family friend and fellow missionary Fr. Luke Veronis briefly tells the story of Lynette s life, then lets her writing speak for itself, showing how Lynette's radical faith and love for Christ transformed the tragedy of a young mother's untimely death Into a powerful witness to the love and saving power of her Lord. Those who witnessed Lynette's passing agree that hers was truly a 'beautiful death.' No one who reads this book will come away untouched; all will be stirred to a new resolve to live life as she did, in the presence of God, with joy and faith.
