Viola Garvin Thompkins's Newly Released "From Possum Corner to Russia and Around the World" Is a Stirring True Story of a Woman Who Dared to Trust
"From Possum Corner to Russia and Around the World" from Christian Faith Publishing author Viola Garvin Thompkins is an accurate, vulnerable account of a woman's life and testimony of taking God at His word.
MEADVILLE, Pa., July 25, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "From Possum Corner to Russia and Around the World": an inspiring testimony from a woman of God, is the creation of published author Viola Garvin Thompkins, founder and president of To God Be All Glory Ministries, Inc., who since 1970 has ministered worldwide in short-term missions in twenty-three countries. She is also a speaker for Women Aglow in America and abroad.
Thompkins writes, "Viola Garvin Thompkins, born on December 16, 1936, in a little place called Possum Corner, weighing only three and one-half pounds. Ice was on the ground. The well was frozen over, and every adverse condition existed, including trouble with the delivery, no doctors for miles away, no car, just a horse and a wagon. In that room was a praying mother and midwife.
"Three months later, Viola was not expected to live and was placed in a room referred to as 'the shed room' to die. The doctor gave her mother medicine to put in her mouth, so she would not feel like she was doing nothing. The third day, Viola's fingers moved, and her mother picked her up and started to find a doctor. Many times, she was not expected to live.
"At the age of twelve, God began giving her dreams and visions, which came to pass within two weeks.
"At age fifteen, her mother died in a hospital thirty miles away. When her mother was dying, the Lord spoke to her in an audible voice. The week after her mother's funeral, no one expected her to live, but the voice spoke again, saying all that she had was gone and she would have to take Him from here on in. He raised her up, and the book tells in part what has happened in Possum Corner and the years thereafter."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Viola Garvin Thompkins's new book is a faith-bolstering firsthand account of a woman with a beautiful destiny who had no other choice but to follow the Lord, only to find out that God was all she really had—and He was more than enough.
