- About Me:
- What is a loser? Many people can formulate their opinions in regard to what constitutes a loser. One may say that a loser is classified as a team or an individual that is not successful in winning a particular sporting event. Modern terminology may classify a loser as one who has no potential to do anything positive. “Lover of a Loser,” takes losing to another plateau as well as provides a different approach to the concept of losing. It chronicles the ups and downs of a family that has lost almost everything imaginable both tangible and intangible. The author gives a firsthand account on the struggles of watching her spouse go through physical and emotional changes due to multiple amputations. “Lover of a Loser” was not only designed for the family and friends that are affected by the amputation, but it is also designed for the amputee as a ray of hope.
What others are saying…
“Wrestling with mixed feelings-- anger, disappointment, shock and strength, Baraka Truss tells a story of life. Even though honest with many of her friends, none could comprehend the degree of pain and anguish she was experiencing. Faced with the disability of her husband, and the possible loss of her first child, this lady trusted in the power of God to bring her through. This is an amazing story of tragedy and triumph in the life of an awesome woman and her walk through storms with an awesome God.”
Rev. Wayne P. Snodgrass, D. Min.
“You have found a way to share hope with others who may be on the same or similar journey. You are refreshingly down to earth as you describe the travails you and your family have endured. Everyone can benefit from reading this enlightening account of your love for God and how it saved you from being a loser, too.”
