"The Wolgemuth's story is both tragedy and blessing, suffering and commitment, mercy and grace," summarizes Ann Showalter, Author, Touched by Grace: From Secrecy to New Life, in the Foreword. "Carl and Marilyn became wonderful friends for Jackie and me during my first solo pastorate. When I learned of Carl's temptation in the context of a men's prayer group, it became a matter of caring conversation and prayer for our group. The struggle and defeat he endured, and restoration from sin to covenant with God and Marilyn, is detailed in this book. Read it with care and prayer for them-and for others in similar turmoil," encourages John Poling, Interim Pastor, Round Rock (Tex.) Presbyterian Church, after serving multiple congregations nationwide."The Wolgemuths have shared their sorrow, anguish, disillusionment, and pain with candor and unflinching honesty with the hope that their story will benefit others. Giving credit to God's grace, Marilyn and Carl have persevered under extremely difficult circumstances," notes Gerry Epp, Academy of Certified Social Workers.
