With the very first sentence, "My life was very messy." Margaret Youell draws the reader of Aglow and Still Burning into her life. I greatly admire anyone who does the hard work of writing and writing well to capture their life journey. One author (Wendell Berry in Jayber Crow) stated that "things went to the grave with them that will never be known again." Thankfully, that will not be the case with Margaret. I have known this lady for almost a decade. The transformation in her life has been evident as she yielded various hurts and pains to Jesus for healing and for His perspective on the situation. I also know that her desire is that her story will engage others to find their own healing encounter with Christ. Read her account with the joy of knowing that God wants to do the same in your life.

It is with great joy that I introduce to you my wife, Margaret Youell.

Before our recent marriage, I had the pleasure of being Margaret's pastor for eight years. She is a wonderfully anointed woman of God whom The Lord uses to bring transformation to individual lives through a variety of gifts and ministries. Whether it's one on one counseling or through a group setting at weekend Encounter ministry sessions, God has used Margaret to give hope, help and healing to many individuals.

Margaret lives her life "glowing" with the anointing of the Lord. Her heart "burns" with God's love and passion to see lives of individuals "ReCreated" into the image of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

When you read the following pages, I believe your heart will be inspired as you dance with Margaret through the stages of her life as the Great Choreographer directs her every move and wonderfully leads her out of the valley of deep pain to the mountain top of fullness and completeness in Christ Jesus. In the end, may you find your heart aglow with the Spirit, burning brightly for Jesus!

Margaret has lived this book…it is not a figment of her imagination or a fiction novel. This book is real life, the relationship between an Almighty, Powerful, Loving, and Forgiving God and a woman on life’s journey. Read how God orchestrated her life, placing the right people into her pathway to fashion His Child. Beautifully written, honestly shared, and absolutely giving all honor and praise to her Lord Jesus Christ. Margaret has a heart and passion to make a difference in lives around her. She has a heart to be used by God. Allow her words to speak to your heart and life.

Margaret is a very transparent person and that is what drew me to her. As a speaker, she has much to share that is beneficially impactful. She speaks under the anointing of Holy Spirit; therefore, her words are power filled. Margaret's background as a counselor gives her insight that most people do not have. That coupled with the spiritual gifting within her gives her a reading on people that others do not possess. Her greatest desire is to see people transformed from the bondage of darkness into the freedom of light that only comes from a relationship with JESUS. She has walked that walk and is the living evidence of the transformational power of GOD'S WORD.

I so enjoyed Aglow and Still Burning. Every chapter was good. I think she has captured the ability of introduction to a CHRIST filled life that creates a hunger in the reader to experience His power and presence for themselves! May many lives be transformed as they read AGLOW AND STILL BURNING.
