The Hem of His Garment

Argye M. Briggs

4.9/5 (19857 ratings)

Description:Sharon Simpson grew up in a kind of vacuum. Her life was bare and desultory, moving from one Texas oil town to another where her father traded on the flushed prosperity of new oil strikes. Her mother, a self-indulgent creature, and father, a shiftless, charming rake who left his family whenever he made a little money, threw Sharon back upon herself. Here she found another self, Strange Sharon, in which she would find the escape and solitude of the heart's world.Perceiving how completely alone and vulnerable she was, Sharon proceeded to become her own scapegoat, tormenting herself for her anguish. Her high school love affair began to appear to her banal and tasteless, and she was at the point of breaking it off when Stephen Kent, the new young principal, arrived, and she knew it was he whom she would love. Following a strange romance, Sharon married Stephen sometime after her graduation, and then found Stephen's world completely foreign to her.Sharon's tortuous, heroic struggle for identity and sense of root belonging led her into the maturity of a faith which claimed her entire soul, and which gave her the only valid reason in the world to live. She, like the woman who touched the hem of Christ's garment, learned that to seize on to Christ was to be at the very source of the world's redemptive and healing power. Argye Briggs reveals herself as the Christian novelist in showing a single soul exposed to destruction as engaging and involving all eternity.[excerpted from jacket cover]We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
