Laid Off
“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.� 2 Corinthians 9:8
Mary Aucoin Kaarto (pronounced oh QUINNÂ Â CAR toe)
was housebound and in pain, so she cried out to God in prayer.
She asked, “Lord, WHY are You allowing me to go through this… AGAIN?�
You see, Mary had been laid off from her job just one week before a car accident.
She didn’t understand why God would take her from one disaster to the next.
God was taking Mary through the dark valley to demonstrate God’s love to others in the midst of their trials.
So Mary wrote, understanding God’s timing is always perfect even though it may not seem that way.
His plan was to release her book just in time to minister to thousands who’ve lost their jobs!
Today, Mary helps others see the message of hope and encouragement from God.
Dear one, no matter the circumstances - trust God for His timing!

Being laid off could be one of the best things that ever happened to someone, it is a matter of perspective and how they respond. "HELP for the LAID OFF" was written and published for such a time as this. Learn how to THRIVE - not just survive - during a layoff. This book makes an excellent gift for someone who is laid off and hurting.
