Ryan and Kayla are joined by their friend Jillana Goble to discuss her new book, A Love Stretched Life. They had the privilege of endorsing A Love Stretched Life and here is what they had to say:
"The stories Jillana shares in A Love Stretched Life are raw and real. You won’t want to put this book down as you begin to read story after story of heartbreak and struggle. But the stories are not only hard, but they are beautiful too. They are stories of choosing to “love against the grain.” For anyone who has considered stepping into the story of a vulnerable child, this book is for you."
You can purchase a copy of A Love Stretched Life HERE.
