My Jesus

From Heartache to Hope (An Encouraging True Story of Recovering from Tragedy and Finding Purpose)

By: Anne Wilson, Matthew West - introduction

Narrated by: Anne Wilson, Gabe Wicks

See how beauty can come after heartbreak and suffering when you allow God to wipe away your tears.

"Whatever you are feeling, God can handle it--all of it. The tears, screams, and questions. God invites you to let Him tend to your heart."

In the bluegrass fields of Kentucky, Anne Wilson and her siblings, Jacob and Elizabeth, grew up in the security and love of their family--and Jesus. But when Jacob died in a car accident, Anne was thrust into a painful journey of grief and soul-wrestling that led to God calling her to create songs that glorified Him.

My Jesus weaves together Anne's personal story of tragedy and the journey toward healing along with an encouraging message to anyone longing for God to wipe away their tears.

No matter what season of life you're facing, My Jesus comes alongside you to:

• Show how God can bring purpose out of loss
• Offer hope in the midst of heartbreak
• Remind you that God never abandons you

My Jesus will help you discover the beauty that can emerge from suffering as you read Anne's story of growing closer to the God who always makes a way.

Praise for My Jesus:

"I love how Anne Wilson invites us into the cracks and crevices of her life and how she built her life on Jesus. My Jesus is personal, and it takes you on a journey through some of the most foundational parts of Anne's life that develop into a large picture where it is so clear that God was the artist of it all. As I read through each page, I felt like I was at coffee with Anne, hearing her story."

--Sadie Robertson Huff, author, speaker, and founder of Live Original

"The song 'My Jesus' has impacted so many of our lives in such important ways. Reading this book, being in the moments with Anne and her family, and hearing her faith rise up when her heart was broken, Anne has told a true and deep story that we all need to read."

--Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun

My Jesus

So many times this song “My Jesus” touched my heart and comforted me in times of grief. I had no idea this song was derived from such heart ache. Each word in this book touched my soul and I literally could feel the pain behind the words. Somehow God also brought me through deep grief after the loss of my youngest son. The similarities of this story and my own resonated throughout the entire book. A heart wrenching story that reminded me of how My Jesus brought me through when I didn’t know if I could or even wanted to make it through.

fantastic book!

My Jesus was a compelling story that brought me to tears and got me pondering how Jesus has been present in my own story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to discover what it looks like to have an intimate relationship with jesus.

Journey through grief

Anne Wilson has a calming, steady voice as she speaks about the most immeasurable pain imaginable. Her story is one that should be shared and I’m so glad that she wrote this book. Listen with a box of tissues.

Beautiful story, Beautiful message

Knowing Anne Wilson’s songs made this book even richer. Hearing the story makes her songs hit home even more. What a beautiful heart she has for the Lord.

Her love for the Lord is so pure.

I loved everything about this book. It was a hard road for her but she used all the bad as a testimony to glorify God.
