In Spite Of: The Johnny Ashley Story: Finding Grace & Peace In Spite Of Trials & Tragedy (In Spite Of Ministries, Band 1) - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Pastor John Ashley grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. After graduating high school, he joined the United States Navy. As a rebellious teenager he got involved in alcohol and drugs while in the service. He spent most of his first year in the Navy in and out of trouble. Until one evening a friend spoke to him about Jesus Christ, a day that would eventually change John Ashley’s life. He trusted Christ as his personal savior that night in the front seat of a Jeep Wagoneer, outside of his barracks in Pensacola, Florida. In the years following, John married his wife, Joann, and they had two sons. Life was going along fine, or so he thought. Their youngest son, Johnny, was born with unique multiple malformations. God had entrusted into their care a special child that would require much of their time and energy, but who would also be used of God to teach them much about God’s grace and strength. It is their firm belief that God gave them their son Johnny, and His strength so that they can use what the Lord has taught them to be a help to others. Everyone has an “In Spite Of” in their lives; some big, some small in comparison, but each one is real to those experiencing them. With great passion and compassion, Pastor Ashley will encourage and challenge those in his audience to see their “In Spite Of” in a different light; not as a problem that God has allowed into their lives, but as an opportunity to see God’s power in operation personally. Pastor Ashley is available to speak in churches, conferences, seminars, workshops and where ever there are people that are hurting.
