Amazing Grace: Autobiography

Overview

By the time Gladys Clark Brown was in her teen years, her destiny seemed all too clear. She had dropped out of high school when she became pregnant, and was struggling on welfare to make ends meet with an abusive, drug-addicted spouse. However, God had an altogether different plan for Brown, who instead discovered a life-changing spirituality as a Seventh Day Adventist Christian, as well as a remarkable career spanning roles as an educator, counselor, church administrator, and more.

Amazing Grace is her inspiring and incredible autobiographical account of the seven decades following her birth in 1935. In it, she shares both her trials and her triumphs, from her darkest days to the guiding light of the Holy Spirit. Starting with her ill-fated beginning as one of five children of a single parent, Brown charts her own remarkable course, emerging from the destitution and pain of life with a drug-addicted husband to retrace her steps and land a high school degree, as well as three masters degrees beyond it. Along the way, her commitment to her God and church demonstrated time and again, that, through the bleakest of times, the Lord's amazing grace will lead the way.
