Oenca Fontaine

Opis

The one thing that every person on this planet has in common is the fact that each of us is unique. From the cells deep within our bodies and the sounds of our laughs to the way we go about our daily routines and how high we set our hopes for what we want out of life, we are, each of us, incredibly different from one another. And we all approach life in our own special ways. The way that Oenca Fontaine has chosen to approach her life and describe her personal experiences with God is one of a kind and entirely her own, though it's sure to strike a chord with any and all who read it. Anyone who has ever had to overcome adversity, deal with personal defects, or come to grips with the past will readily relate to Fontaine's awakened perspective-and those currently in dark, dismal situations will be inspired by the enlightened way she reflects upon her experiences. Part memoir, part motivational text, and part faith study, My God in a Time Like Now tells the compelling story of how Fontaine came to terms with herself and the world around her after she opened her eyes to some of the truths that had been right in front of her all along, without her knowing it. An autobiographical account that flows like a flawless piece of fiction, it chronicles Fontaine's life before and after she became a Christian, exploring how and why she chose to accept God and relating the incredible things she accomplished when she put Him at the center of her existence. With God in her life, Fontaine was able to overcome the pain, conflict, and chaos of her past and, for the first time, accept herself-flaws and all-as a person who was ready and willing to move forward into a future full of unlimited possibility and promise. She went on to pursue a career where she could share what she learned to help and inspire others. Now an independent leadership and talent development consultant and the founder of the Christian Leadership Ministries, Fontaine obtained training as a coach-mentor and life coach and is a member of the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development. But these are just her professional qualifications, which are not the most impressive of her credentials. The most potent, persuasive thing that Fontaine brings to the table comes not from her professional background, but from her personal background, and it's the one thing she has to offer that no one else in the world can-her story, which is both powerful and powerfully told in My God in a Time Like Now. The book shows how Fontaine was able to navigate life's ups and downs to learn what it truly means to embrace God and one's self, and it does so in a way that's exceptionally moving. At times harrowing and heartfelt, and at others, humorous and hopeful, it carries readers so deeply into Fontaine's life that you'll feel as though you're right there alongside her every step of the way. Without doubt, you'll be crying on one page, laughing on the next, and, in the end, looking back with your head held high and your spirits lifted.
