Painful Gratitude: A Memoir of Loss & Redemption

"I was steadfast and eager to prove to myself and my children-that God was with us-and our story would end well because of Him."

Journey through life's ups and downs with Pastor Thumbelina Newsome as she shares raw, candid stories-full of trials-and the lessons learned. She explains how each experience, whether challenging or painful, can lead to deep gratitude and happiness when individuals turn to the ultimate Professor...God.

Thumbelina motivates, empowers, and inspires others to seek the strength of God in everyday life. She teaches-through obedience-everyone can have the opportunity to recognize His hand at work-and hear His still, small voice in a world of chaos.
