Why has it taken me so long to let go of my search for complete loving and fulfillment from others? It is because it has taken me this long in my search to find the self-acceptance of my own failure at being completely loving. That grace comes only by looking for it from my Maker-Redeemer alone.Dee Penick has had a difficult life. The victim of sexual molestation, she struggled to find her worth and overcame self-loathing through the grace of God. Now, through this touching memoir, she shares her struggles and lessons learned through Scripture and intimate conversations—as if you were a close friend sitting at her kitchen table. Through sampling a few of the fruits of the spirit—love, joy, and peace—you can realize you are a person of meaning, value, and purpose. Take your life from the turbulence of insecurity to the refreshing calm of Quiet Waters. 'Quiet Waters is filled with wonderful testimonies of how God led a victim of sexual molestation into spiritual healing and wholeness.' -Patsy Oda, author of Heart's Desire
