About this ebook

Welcome to The Designer Bag at the Garbage Dump. It's a fish out of water story about how God turns 32-year-old Julie's manicured, pedicured, self-absorbed designer life upside down.  
Julie, a nominal Christian, heads to New York for a weekend shopping binge. On a deserted train, she sits next to a stranger who turns out to be Jesus. After a wonderful, healing conversation she agrees to His request to, "feed My lambs." When she gets off the train she's in India.
Her charmed life is shattered--she must care for 12 "filthy orphans" living on a dump before she can return to her comfortable life. She lives on the street and overwhelming new challenges arise daily. While squatting in an alley, going to the bathroom, an orphan, named Ravi, steals her designer purse. Unbeknownst to Julie, Ravi, who speaks English, holds the key to her communicating with the other orphans.
Will Julie learn 1) to trust the Lord when nothing is in her control? 2) that she doesn't have to perform to be loved? and 3) that her life is built on a shaky foundation? Can she protect the orphans from a predator who steals and maims children and sends them out to beg? How will God provide food when her wallet is stolen? Can she find safe homes for the children?
The answers to these questions will also be the answers to many of your questions about God, life and yourself. Pick up a copy of The Designer Bag at the Garbage Dump and jump into a great adventure!

 

Ratings and reviews

Angels of Humility is an amazing book. I have wondered about so many deeply spiritual stories and experiences and what they mean. I will never think of pray and intercession and the spirit realm the same again. I want to buy boxes of this book and bless every Christian I know with a copy. I want to hand it out to whom ever is hungry to know more about God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus and the word of God. This book is about salvation, guardian Angel's sent by GOD to each believer andwhy they are sent. The prayer language each believer needs which is a gift from God. I could go on and on but instead I urge you to read this book. I promise you, you will not be the same Christian after you read it.

The book spoke to me in such a personal way. My struggle with letting go and trusting God, my faith - just spoke to me on so many levels.

Wasn't sure at first, but kept reading and fell in love. This is a great eye opener. Convicting, serious, funny, and a reminder of how much God Loves us all so much! Thank you for this love story!
