It is my hope that others, especially pastors, will find this book an encouragement and inspiration as they, too, meet the challenges of life and make their own personal journey toward emotional and spiritual wholeness


GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (PRWEB)

Author Carolyn Cammenga shares the story of how God healed her heart and assured her that she was wanted in What Others Reject, God Accepts: A Pastor’s Journey Toward Wholeness ($16.99, paperback, 9781662819001; $9.99, e-book, 9781662819018).

Cammenga’s birth mother was unmarried and left her in the care of her maternal grandparents. She spent 4 ½ happy years with them before, for reasons she did not understand, they put her up for adoption. Cammenga was welcomed into a wonderful, loving family, but she could not overcome the feeling that she was rejected and unwanted. In this book, she tells her story to testify that God is the One who accepts what others do not.

“It is my hope that others, especially pastors, will find this book an encouragement and inspiration as they, too, meet the challenges of life and make their own personal journey toward emotional and spiritual wholeness,” said Cammenga.

Rev. Carolyn Cammenga is a retired pastor with a BA degree in Speech and Drama from Monmouth College, an MS degree in Guidance and Counseling from Illinois State University, a Master of Divinity degree and a Master of Theology degree from Calvin Theological Seminary. In addition to teaching in various schools around the world, she worked alongside her husband to plant churches in Illinois and Michigan. Cammenga was ordained by the Presbyterian Church USA in 1980, and the Christian Reformed Church in 2005. She served a number of churches in various capacities up until her retirement in 2012. Now widowed, she has four children, ten grandchildren and two great-granddaughters.
