Some would say that God will not put on a person more than she can bear, but Paige begs to differ, because she is truly on the edge. One more unexpected and unpleasant occurrence and she'll be free falling.

Thank God for Norman, one of Paige's co-workers. He is there to catch her fall before she hits the ground. But will Norman be there when Paige receives news that may not only push her off the edge, but cause her to jump willingly? In More Than I Can Bear, Paige must decide if she is going to allow herself to drown in the storms she finds herself in, or catch hold of the lifesaver God extends to her.

All of us live our lives with a certain vision of what our future will be. In the twists and turns that our journey through life might take, do we ever venture to imagine that the mirror of our lives can so easily be shattered into many painful, piercing shards? How much will God ask us to bear? My story appeals to many audiences and all those who desire to have a personal relationship with the true and living God. Readers will join me on my journey from the perfect life, through discovery of betrayal, deceit, adultery, and criminal activity, followed by diagnosis of a life-threatening illness. With honesty and vulnerability, I communicate that there is triumph in every trial and lessons in every mistake. Different choices can be made, and the mighty hand of God can break chains of bondage forged by years of sinful behavior.

More Than I Can Bear If Not for God is part autobiography and mostly personal memoir of the author and his family. The tragedy that destabilized and tested the faith of the author and his family in God is discussed. The valuable lessons of leaning on God in the face of conflict with his academic mentor, medical doctors, and the immigration authorities, strengthened their relationship and trust in God. The family’s ordeal devastated them and revealed to them that the events and trials they dealt with were proof of God’s power and ability to purify believers, even through the fiery oven, for the glory and fulfillment of God’s plan and purpose.

Abigail Dodds invites readers to ponder and celebrate God's spiritual and physical provision in Christ through the hands-on art of bread making.
