God
has a unique plan for all of us and many fail to realize that. Author,
Lily L. Ratliff using her own personal life, shows us how God can take
all of our messes, whether self-imposed because of wrong decisions we
make, or through no fault of our own, and turn our life around to help
us walk in the newness of life.
It is when we accept our situation, past and present, that we can with
vigor continue enjoying life and live it to its fullest. The “why
me” questions are thoroughly answered as Ratliff leaves no stone
unturned. Through this book, you will learn how to triumph over
difficulties, opposition, and neglect through the grace of God.

Here is what others have to say about The Life of a Lily:
“Sometimes heartwarming and sometimes heartrending, The Life of a
Lily is a fast-pace true-to-life account that is sure to open its
readers eyes to what it genuinely means to be a human flower, nurtured
by the hands of God.”
—Kendra Norman-Bellamy, national bestselling author of Crossing Jhordan's River, More Than Grace, and In Greene Pastures
“Great Personal Story.”
—Pam Perry, Ministry Marketing Solutions
“A gift only God can give. Lily L. Ratliff's autobiography is an
open revelation of her life and a personal account of all the mishaps
God brought her through. She takes readers from her precipice, to her
understanding of the things God bore for her, while she gained the
strength to carry them herself. She shares questions which will
produce painful answers from mistreated and misguided individuals. 'Are
you a victim of the foster system, or adopted and want to know, why me?
Can there ever be life after abuse or abandonment?' Most
people need a catalyst to help direct them toward deliverance and The Life of a Lily
may be that springboard. The sharing is, at times, spellbinding and, at
times heartbreaking, but at all times, uplifting .Through all of Lily's
adversities, she found the power to laugh, not in spite of her
difficulties, but because she knew she had a Deliverer. And finally,
more than anything else, she knew God had a plan for her life. The Life of a Lily
is for women and men who have been hurt, abused and battered, and also
for the countless children who have no hope of being loved and
wanted. Lily has been there many times, and she hopes, because of
her testimony, victims can awaken, overcome and feast on the joy of the
Lord; This story reaches out to you.”
