What a wonderful account of two women's life and ministry showing people how God's love can transform every situation. It reveals how Marilyn's heartfelt and inspired songs flow naturally from her own spiritual life, and so with Tracy, her gift with words shines in the way she's put this memoir together. The tapestry of biography, anecdote, testimony and reflection is skillfully woven into a whole. The pattern is one of love, and I was very moved and uplifted by their stories.

I found this a book I couldn’t put down. Written in a great conversational style, I felt like I was sat with Marilyn and Tracey as they shared their lives with such honesty- two inspirational ladies! I laughed and cried...journeying with them and feeling all the threads being woven, transformed and worked together for good .a beautiful tapestry .. a must read.

I've found 'A Desert Transformed' a rich and very assuring read. Tracy Williamson invites us to sit a while and hear the assurances of a God who holds us in our wilderness times as well as in easier times. With Tracy's warm, prophetic voice, the rich words and reflections on scripture in this devotional will be a blessing to the weak and weary, to those who are not finding that a life of faith means a life without pain. Readers will be greatly blessed and soothed by the gentle words of comfort Tracy offers, and the many images she paints so vividly of the Father’s passionate love. This is a book which merges the ordinary with the sacred, the messy with the beautiful and the darkness with the treasure. Highly recommended.

This is such a beautiful book. I have cried, I felt God's presence near, I have journeyed and I have been so very blessed as I have read through these wonderful pages. Truly thankful that the author has taken the time to write these life giving words with such honesty and love. I highly recommend this book.

This 40 day devotional is like having your best friend draw alongside to comfort, support and inspire when the days are hard and your heart is hurt. Tracy is sympathetic, never condemns or judges, but seems to know exactly what you need to read and hear on any given day! She draws out helpful ideas from the Scripture verses, adds her own prophetic and reflective words, suggests prayers; and adds extra readings if you want to dig deeper or have the time. I particularly appreciated some of her poems and reflections. Her own personal story is sometimes woven into the daily (short) chapters and is also helpful. Whether or not you are in a desert experience right now, this book is recommended - and it's a good book to gift to someone else who is indeed going through a tough time. I had a pre-release copy and these are mine own experiences with the book.

Such an inspiring book with plenty of practical points. Ideal for those who seek closer fellowship with God, and a better understanding of just how he sees us and loves us.
Tracy generously shares her wisdom won from years of journeying into God's very heart.
