Champions The Other Side Of Reality" Entertainment

UHRICHSVILLE, OH - Summer 2002 - Reality television shows are based on one principle: True stories make the best stories.
If this is the case, author Allison Gappa Bottke has a spiritual edge on TVs top-rated Survivor, Fear Factor and other popular shows -- true stories of God changing the lives of ordinary people.
A compilation of stories specifically from women across the country, Bottkes newest volume in the popular U-Turns series captivates with tales of women whose lives, careers, attitudes and faith are transformed, sometimes miraculously, but always toward God.
A child gives his lunch to a homeless man and gains a brother in Christ.
A single mother gets a job paying exactly what she needs for bills.
A barren woman caught in abortions trap becomes a mother.
A couple begins two new careers and a full-time ministry because of a near-fatal animal attack.
While reading the thousands of stories submitted for this volume, A Womans Journey, I was struck with the profound revelation that women walk many of the same paths in our life journey. As daughters, sisters, friends, wives, mothers, and grandmothers, we all share the sometimes painful consequences of wrong direction choices."
Bottke made one of these choices herself as a young runaway who found herself in New York City alone on the streets. Rescued by a concerned and loving street artist, Bottke maintains that her life is proof that God allows-even provides-opportunities to U-turn". Stories of poverty, addiction, and abuse become stories of triumph for women across the country who have shared their life-changing encounters with a loving God.
