Publisher's Synopsis
Ninety-nine year old Mississippi belle reveals faith struggles. How does a privileged southern girl from the Mississippi Delta find God's will for her life? Ninety-nine year old Anne Bobo Warren was raised in Lyon, Mississippi, close to Honey Hill plantation and attended the little Baptist church in Lyon. But as she entered the world of the Presbyterian community in the Bluegrass country of Lexington, Kentucky she felt unprepared to make contributions to church life through teaching and singing in the choir. Long walks after painful back surgery and years of deep prayer allowed Anne to finally hear God's voice, but it came late in her life. She joined Faith at Work with her physician husband, Sam Warren, and traveled the country to share the intimacy of their small groups. She and Sam also offered their home to youths and adults for meetings. Through songs, poems, prayers and correspondence with Mary Martin, Bruce Larson and Catherine Marshall, Anne finally arrived at a place in her faith walk where she felt she could make a personal contribution. And so at the age of ninety-nine she looks back on her struggles with her faith, the loss of her son, her daughter's bout with cancer, and her eventual awareness of God's will for her life. "Now I just seem to know," she says.
