Imagine walking to school in shoes that do not fit. It takes you so long to walk to school that by the time you get there, school’s over. Your father seldom works, instead taking the money you make working in the fields. As for food, what there is to eat was stolen from neighbors’ fields. You could be forgiven if you felt defeated and hopeless before hitting your teenage years.

God Is My Soul Provider is Minister Mattie Pearl Walton’s story. Those things—and much more—happened to her as she grew up. She was a mother of several children while she was nearly a child herself. When she became ill, it was almost enough to make her give up. She turned to God, who told Walton to preach his Word to those around her. He gave her the strength she needed and helped her find the faith to tell others what his love could do for them. Her life became a living example of God’s power and love for those with faith.

God Is My Soul Provider will help you find the strength you need to rise above your circumstances. As Walton shows, nothing is too big to be overcome. God is there to help you. All you have to do is ask and believe.
