Opis

She wanted her son to succeed in life, to thrive in school and in a chosen profession that would bring him accolades and a lucrative income. However, Veronica wanted Timmy's efforts to prosper in life done on her terms, with her advice and in the manner she felt best to achieve this dream for Timmy. Hidden Treasure, the Christian fictional story by author Michael Vande Brake, represents the unrealistic drive by one single mother to shape her only son into an affluent person with success to spare, and how God released her son to a greater purpose than was previously thought. Parenting her child alone soon after his birth, Veronica chose to raise Timmy with an iron fist, keeping him from friendships with others and consuming his time with chores, school and extracurricular activities. Timmy's feelings or dreams were never considered in this projected path that Veronica was forcing him to traverse, leading him into a fearful existence and one without love or encouragement from Veronica. Yet as the years went by, Timmy, now Tim, began to seek a life away from his overbearing mother, one that was centered in a career in nursing and filled with the love of others, especially that of a special lady. Choices made by Veronica led to the demise of both her and Tim's successful careers, but God still had plans for Tim that would be more than he had ever dreamed. This fictional tale shows the power of God to change any circumstance into a great display of His love and power, and His ability to transform a person's life, like Tim's, into one that can be used to transforms the lives of others. No matter what requirements others place on a person, God has the greater say for how the person's life will succeed and glorify Him.
