I have witnessed and appreciated Nikki's zeal for the Lord in her personal spiritual walk and her readiness to go the extra mile to reach out to help the poor, needy and spiritually lost both nearby and across the ocean. It's an encouragement to read how God pursues and then uses his children to reach others for His glory. Dr. N. Sanford Good, Chair of Intercultural Studies, Lancaster Bible College As their pastor and friend for many years, I consider Nikki Arnold and her husband Bill to be authentic trophies of God's transforming grace. There is no other lucid explanation for the people they are today. The engaging story Nikki weaves here is not that of a woman just 'trying harder' to grasp a better life. She is one among millions who have found a whole new life to be God's free gift, bought by the blood of Jesus Christ Here is a still unfinished journey, about God's Spirit taking up residence in a woman who started out with many rough edges. The almost fully polished gem now visible to all who know Nikki Arnold bears every evidence of being from God's own jewelry shop. Dr. Michael A. Rogers, Senior Pastor, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Lancaster PA
