DescriptionAbout the Author5.0Darlene Link, the author of I Give This to You Lord, is a first-time author, mother of seven, resides in Alabama. She loves her family, donates handmade items for benefits, restores religious cement statues, and volunteers to teach “How to make a rosary.” Darlene’s testimony exemplifies her love of the Lord and the miracles He’s shown her. After her healing, she was gifted with blessings from the Lord, in ways to help others as revealed in the book.Endorsement for I Give This to You Lord!After reading Darlene Link’s book, I found a deep truth there that a person will find difficult or impossible to understand unless they have been through it; it’s called “Suffering!” Without going into the depth of it, my wife Doris (of 66 years together) and I have known suffering after losing two of our three sons to death. Once a person has been through it, they will never be able to forget it!No one has ever suffered as Jesus Christ suffered. Jesus was beaten, spat upon, mocked, nailed to a tree, had a spear thrust into His side until it pierced His heart and bled to death. If there was ever anyone qualified to comment on suffering, it was Jesus Christ. Yet, He says: If we suffer with Him, we will also reign with Him (2 Timothy 2:12). The key to reigning through suffering is to love enough to do what Scriptures tell us to do: “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2-3).Darlene’s captivating story will open the door to this mystery to whomever has the will and courage to read and pursue it. The key to entering this truth is to deny and humble ourselves; enter into the suffering that has been set before us; turn this over completely to God, and He will help us to turn our suffering into Joy.—Deacon Fred Williams, EdD, St. James Catholic Church, Gadsden, AL***Darlene has written a wonderful and personal testimony of a difficult and challenging time in her life. In the process of suffering with a debilitating medical condition, she diligently sought for answers to her dilemma.In this book she writes about her struggles to find answers as she seeks doctors’ appointments, tests, and prescriptions to ease her pain. The doctors listened and did all they could professionally to assist her.In her pursuit of an answer to resolve her medical issues, she trusts in her faith and calls upon the Lord Jesus Christ to bring a miraculous healing in her life. Her story is a testimony to God’s presence and power in her life. She shares what is possible for anyone who calls upon His name.—Pastor Jerry Cribb (Rtd.), North Carolina Conference of the United Methodist Church***Darlene Link’s story, I Give This to You Lord, from her miracle meeting of John to her miraculous healing, tells of amazing miracles all resulting from giving things up wholly and completely to God! I only wish I had the complete strength and faith displayed in this amazing book by Darlene Link. If you have any doubts about giving all of your situations, good and not so good, to the Lord, this book should help you realize the importance of giving everything up to God.Darlene teaches us that it must be His way, not ours! God knows what He is doing and this book taught me that I have to trust Him to know what is best and that will always be His will. I give everything up to you Lord! This book is the proof in the pudding!—Richard Pettys, Jr., Host at The 4 Persons Network Talk Radio, Attalla, Alabama***One of the hardest things to write about is our own personal journeys. This writer, Darlene Link, has taken the time to show us how complicated life can be and how there is only one real hope; that is learning to live a life of complete Faith.I enjoyed reading, I Give This to You, Lord, because I could relate to her journey. At times, it made me cry. I believe readers will find a newfound hope after reading about her life and her testimony in God’s promises.—Raymond Macon, Actor at Casting Companies, Stand-In, Walk-On, and Background Actor for 100 media projects. Teaches writing and acting for camera courses***I Give This to You, Lord, is a wonderful read. It’s the true life story of Darlene Link, a typical American wife and mother, who becomes so much more by allowing God to work in her life. While Darlene’s experiences may be extraordinary, they’re a result of the living and true Lord answering her prayers for Jesus to use her to show His love to His children.By her example, every Christian believer should sit down with a pen in hand and, like Darlene, reflect on the beautiful and miraculous tapestry of our lives that God has uniquely woven, if only we would say of our lives, I Give This to You, Lord. —Michele Cribb, Retired Methodist Pastor’s Wife, and Educator***Darlene Link’s book, I Give This to You, Lord, is so touching in so many ways. It’s a beautiful love story of a couple that is a devoutly loving Christian couple that are meant to be together and their love for their large, blended family. You will laugh, and you will cry.Darlene’s healing left her with a gift from God that has helped so many families and others. I suggest getting extra copies of this book to give to many who have lost hope. The power of her faith is so strong and unshakable. To be so sick for so long and to turn this over to God in deep prayers and faith and to be healed. This touched me so deeply because I’ve been there, so deathly sick and my parents being told there was nothing else that could be done and an all-night prayer chain began, and my fever broke the next morning. Prayer is so powerful, and I’ve seen Darlene’s prayers for everyone that is in pain and feeling hopeless. God is using her voice to help touch those in pain and those who have lost hope. A book you’ll read over and over again, and you’ll feel the love of this devout Christian lady.—Bellann Fitts, United Methodist Member, Avid Reader5.0Breakdown
