Back Few people take the risk of sharing their truest selves, their most suppressed feelings, and their most hidden secrets with the world. Francine Baldwin is one of those few. She travels deep into her past to share both her brokenness and triumph and generously offers herself to encourage others.Choices is a necessary work for everyone-those who have experienced hardship and those who haven't-as it demonstrates the power of what God's love can do and how it can transform your life beyond what you can imagine. (Christina McSwain)A choice is an act or instance of choosing, making a selection. In life, we don't always have a choice. Especially as children, we don't have a choice of who our family members are, where we live, what we eat, and sometimes what we wear. Oftentimes, we have no choice or control over whether or not we get sick, lose a family member, or even experience a personal tragedy. However, there comes a time when we are able to make choices. Those choices affect not only us but those we love. Our choices have the ability to make our lives spin out of control and take us to a place of seemingly no return.In her book Choices, Francine Baldwin takes us on a journey recounting memorable events in her life. She tells us of incidents that marked significant changes in her life, many of which she had no choice about or control over. These seemingly unrelated events all affected her in some way, shaping and making her. After experiencing many different things in her life, Pastor Baldwin realizes that we all have choices. We have the ability to choose right or wrong, life or death. She shows us that life is found only in God's Word and doing things God's way. There is no compromising, nor is it dependent upon what someone else does. She reminds us that no matter how difficult, distasteful, or embarrassing it is, God's way is always the best way. He is true to his Word, and He will restore you and everything you thought you lost.Francine Baldwin's transparency in telling her story is remarkable. She honestly discusses matters that we all deal with: marriage, death, personal tragedy, and even our walk with the Lord. Her testimony is one of triumph and victory. She reminds us that we are "more that conquerors through him that loved us." I am truly proud to call Francine Baldwin my sister, and friend (Vivian Penceal)
