Linda Dillow has been serving the Lord courageously and faithfully for decades. She’s served as a missionary in some closed countries, as a wise mentor and author helping women spiritually prosper in their marriages, and more recently has suffered some catastrophic personal and familial pains. In spite of it all, she has come out like one of the martyrs in the book of Revelation: faithful, praising God, filled with joy and wisdom. I’ve quoted several of her books in my own books and seminars, but her most recent book, Hope for My Hurting Heart: Eight Heart Skills to Help You Cling to God and Not Give Up is one of my favorites of hers. It provides practical skills to keep clinging to God amid life’s hardships.
I usually keep interviews short, but to do justice to Linda’s life and book, we talked for about an hour. This Friday, we’re running an excerpt of her book, which you can buy HERE. I wanted to give our paid subscribers a behind-the-scenes look at Linda’s life and faith before the excerpt drops. Also as a paid subscriber, you are invited to enter a drawing for one of two free copies of Linda’s book. Send your email to alli@garythomas.com, with the subject line “DIllow book” and you’ll be entered in the drawing.
I hope you enjoy the interview and buy the book, and if you do, I hope you will leave a review on Amazon and Christian Books. And for the potentially cynical, I am receiving no payment from Linda’s publisher for this or Friday’s post. This is a labor of love, and I believe it is a gift to the church.
