My Diary: Emily Owen

Emily Owen

Paperback 2021-02-01

Emily Owen was an energetic teenager who loved music - and life. But dreams of becoming a teacher, enjoying music and sport all crashed as she was given the shocking news that she had NF2 which had caused tumours in her brain that would lead to deafness.

Emily's life would be completely different from the one she had planned. But she had a choice. Could she let go of the life she had hoped to live - and live a life wholly focused on God?

Written as diary entries, older children can see first-hand how Emily learnt to trust God in all her circumstances. Emily's story demonstrates that even though life might not work out as expected, God has a plan - and there are still everyday rainbows to be found.

Publisher Description

:Hi, I'm Emily.

I loved music and sport at school and wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. But then I discovered that I had a serious illness. I needed lots of operations which changed my life forever. Suddenly my life was going to be very different to the one I had planned. Would I still be able to trust God?

I wrote a diary to help me remember what happened, how I felt, and how God helped me. I hope it might help you to see how God is with you too.

P.S. It's alright if you read my diary, but I don't want anyone else to see it, OK?
