Faith's Pursuit: Understanding God's Faithfulness in Suffering

This inspiring true story is about a young woman's journey with God. As a little girl, she meets Him in the most unlikely place — her broken heart. He walks with her through her poverty and shame. When He calls her forth, she dares to follow and discovers that through suffering and redemption, God makes Himself real to anyone who has the faith to pursue Him.

About the Book

What happens when the very circumstances that threaten to destroy you become the soil where God grows something unshakeable? Faith's Pursuit is the story of one woman's journey from poverty, trauma, and loss — into the arms of a faithful God who never let go.

Deanna Slamans was marked by hardship from an early age. Growing up in poverty, surrounded by generational trauma, she found an unlikely anchor at Milton Hershey School — and ultimately in her faith. This memoir traces the conviction that God doesn't waste a single chapter of a person's story, not even the most painful ones.

"Through suffering and redemption, God makes Himself real to anyone who has the faith to pursue Him."

Raw, honest, and deeply hopeful, Faith's Pursuit is for anyone who has ever fought through something hard and wondered if God was still there. He was. He is. And this book is the proof.
