Bøker av Idell Koury

How does a poor, Hispanic girl living in the projects of New Mexico grow up to work on Capitol Hill, meet a U.S. President, and become a state James Madison Fellow? Idell Koury can tell you how-through the grace of Jesus Christ. Idell, lovingly nicknamed "I Baby" by her father, had an unstable childhood with a father who would disappear for longs periods of time and a mother whose methods of coping to deal with her painful past were the only way she knew to deal with her pain. But God had His hand on her whether she was in foster care or seeking refuge in one of her half-sibling's home. Because of her passion for education and her brilliant mind, Idell received the opportunity to work on Capitol Hill. While she pursued a career in shaping our nation's education system, someone was pursuing her, and she had no idea-until she found Him. And her whole world changed. As you journey with Idell from New Mexico to D.C. to California to South Carolina, you will discover the value of surrendering control and allowing God to direct your path. You will encounter the redeeming power of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. And you will see how God really is a good Father. Because He always takes care of His children. Even His I Baby.
