I love this book for so many reasons: 1. It's personal - it's filled with story after story of God's incredible love, both in Tracy's life, and the life of others. I especially love the story of Tracy running away from college, and how God meets her and provides for her. Wow! Amazing! (And the story of the little girl and bicycle!) 2. It's prophetic - Tracy writes with a real prophetic edge, interspersing the book with specific words for the reader. 3. It's practical - at the end of each section, there are pause and reflect questions, which lead the reader to experience God's love for themselves.
I was really moved reading this book, and am reading it for a second time now to really 'pause and reflect'. This book is for anyone and everyone - there's always more of God's love to experience.'pause and reflect'. This book is for anyone and everyone - there's always more of God's love to experience.

This book is a very personal testimony of healing with an inspirational message for those who know how shame, fear and rejection can shape and paralyse the smallest daily decisions. Using the author's own lived experiences and those of others, it encourages the reader to break free from destructive cycles of self-hate and despair by embracing the love of God and his unconditional acceptance and passion for the person he made us to be.

An affirming and insightful read which I found encouraging and would recommend to others.

I've just finished "A Beautiful Tapestry" which is an amazing, inspiring, life-changing read. I have felt half-asleep and saddened for so long about many things, but this book woke me up. Two wonderful women telling their stories and what stories they are! This may well be one of the most important books I've read in some time.

A Faith filled gifted musician , Marilyn's Love for Jesus is declared through her worship songs . I've listened to Marilyn's music for 40 years and it's never ceased to encourage , comfort and strengthen me , she sings timeless truths from God's Word . I highly recommend this CD and ALL Marilyn Baker's other CDs , the lyrics and melodiousness of the songs are a 'Joy to my Heart !'

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.
