From Nowhere to Somewhere

Miriam Jones is an immaculately authentic woman with a great life as a pastor in Australia and a big loving family of five children and twelve grandchildren in Kenya, Africa. You would never know that unbeknownst to people and behind closed doors, this woman’s idyllic life was tainted by pain and rejection festering in her heart—a product of growing up in extreme poverty and abuse. In this heart-tugging memoir, Miriam brings to life her experience growing up in an abusive home, rejected by everyone she loved and the shame that accompanied it. The emotional weight that she carried ultimately led to a suicide attempt of her and her children. In this text, Miriam exemplifies God’s mighty hand in every season of her life, though she was unaware of who he was and how, through the odds, she thrived and became the woman God intended her to be. From Nowhere to Somewhere is a memoir about realising that your past does not define you but the calling that God has on your life that will prevail. It is a powerful story about the power of forgiveness, obedience, and complete surrender.
