Bittersweet: A Memoir

Hearing God's voice and trusting His direction toward a purpose-guided life is not for the faint of heart.

Does God join you as you climb mountains, wander aimlessly in deserts, or plummet into dark pits?

Can you make a positive impact for the current and future generations?

These, among other questions, are explored in Dr. Westman's memoir, Bittersweet.

Punctuated with Scripture and heartfelt journal entries, Dr. Westman weaves together her early family history, reflects on raising her son as a single mother, and reminisces about her mid-life commitment to missions. Confident of His love and faithfulness, Dr. Westman moved from fear to faith to challenge powers of darkness holding desperate people captive.

Countless people dream of joining Jesus in Kingdom work, but dream fulfillment requires a step of faith. Dr. Westman chose to take that step. What follows in these inspiring pages are travels to distant lands, relationships built through care and trust, and stories of trauma being healed through insight mixed with heavenly wisdom. Her memoir stands as a testament to what God can do as He works through those who embrace the Great Commission -- and who stand in the gap for people in need at the appointed time.
