The Testimony of the Eskimo Girl

In her forties, Maria Rivera-Vargas's life was in a comfortable, blessed place until one night her faith was put to the test.

She had a dream illustrating what her life was like before turning to God. She grew up in a cold world and was a cynical, bitter young woman. She laughed with her friends at how calculating they all were, calling them "Eskimo Girls" because their hearts were cold as ice. Her heart was emotionally frozen until an encounter with God's love radically changed her.

She woke up and knew God wanted her to remember who she once was. The dream was a key to unlock the door to her memories. She had to put her comfortable life at risk and reveal the pain and shame of her past that had frozen her heart completely.

In "The Testimony of the Eskimo Girl," Rivera-Vargas chronicles her years spent in coldhearted emotional dysfunction-and how God's supernatural love broke through the layers of ice to claim her heart for his own. A story of redeeming and penetrating love, this memoir will warm the heart of anyone caught in the trap of hopelessness-demonstrating that there's a way out for everyone.
