As an award-winning speaker and author, Glenda Durano delights in sharing hope. Glenda has had devotions and articles published on multiple platforms including CBN.com, Inspiration.org, Devotions.us, and The Upper Room. Her family’s life took a tremendous turn in 2012 when her younger daughter experienced a near-fatal reaction to an over-the-counter pain medication and ultimately lost her vision. In a miraculous turn of events, however, God used her daughter’s blindness to change the trajectory of their lives and their personal ministry—which is the subject of her most recent book, Sacred Sight: Finding Hope Through Heartache and her thirty-day devotional, Desperate for God.

Carole Wildes is grateful to be a wife, mom of three, homeschooler, Bible study leader, writer, and apologist who blogs and podcasts at More Than This Mess. Her goal is to point others to Jesus, His Word, and the truth of Christianity so they can be encouraged to hold on to the best part of life — Jesus Himself — even in the middle of all the messes of life. She and her family live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and are glad to serve at Redemption Hill Church.
