BOOK REVIEWS
“Sometimes heartwarming and sometimes heartrending,
The Life of a Lily is a fast-pace true-to-life account that
is sure to open its readers eyes to what it genuinely means
to be a human flower, nurtured by the hands of God.”
Kendra Norman-Bellamy, national bestselling author of Crossing
Jhordan's River, More Than Grace, and In
Greene Pastures
“A gift only God can give. Lily L. Ratliff's autobiography
is an open revelation of her life and a personal account of
all the mishaps God brought her through. She takes readers
from her precipice, to her understanding of the things God
bore for her, while she gained the strength to carry them
herself. She shares questions which will produce painful answers
from mistreated and misguided individuals. 'Are you a victim
of the foster system, or adopted and want to know, why me?
Can there ever be life after abuse or abandonment?' Most people
need a catalyst to help direct them toward deliverance and
The Life of a Lily may be that
springboard. The sharing is, at times, spellbinding and, at
times heartbreaking, but at all times, uplifting .Through
all of Lily's adversities, she found the power to laugh, not
in spite of her difficulties, but because she knew she had
a Deliverer. And finally, more than anything else, she knew
God had a plan for her life. The Life of a Lily
is for women and men who have been hurt, abused and battered,
and also for the countless children who have no hope of being
loved and wanted. Lily has been there many times, and she
hopes, because of her testimony, victims can awaken, overcome
and feast on the joy of the Lord; This story reaches out to
you.”
