Check out KRLC-AM (1350 on your radio dial) at 7:00 am Pacific time and hear Stephen Kingsley interview Pleasant Word author Kathie Marchant on the Gospel Music Show, heard over the greater Lewiston area.

The topic of discussion is her new book, Fortress of the Heart. Marchant offers an honest account of her struggle to trust God and others after a teen peer attacks her, ending a carefree childhood. She unfolds her furious response, silent suffering, and desperate prayers to overcome bitterness and live life at the highest level of divinely appointed happiness.

In fifty readings, poems, and prayers, you will find yourself moving with Marchant from the shadows of the past towards an exhilarating release and learn to dismantle your own walls of defense, transforming your focus from self to others. Each brief devotional speaks of challenges to self-worth and of God’s healing power flowing to us through the beauty of others and the majesty of His creation. Marchant teaches readers through her own personal thoughts how a joyful existence can transpire by healing with forgiveness, praying always, and loving others.

Exquisite photography, inspiring scripture, wisdom, and touching stories provide a vivid travelogue of a soul in motion from an anxious stronghold in the heart to freedom beyond manmade barriers—in the secure, purpose-filled fortress of a faithful Creator.
