Dancing In The Minefields

Maribeth Ditmars offers hope and a beautiful journey of faith in God amidst great adversity, tribulation, and grief. Dancing in the Minefields gives inspiration to all those who have suffered through trials, tragedy, even the loss of a child, or to those that are familiar with drug and alcohol addiction. The Ditmars married in the late 70's. They were like any other young and in love couple. Together they had great hopes and high expectations for the future. Yet, trauma came knocking on their door in the form of childhood cancer. With their world crumbling, both Maribeth and her husband fought hard as a team through the diagnosis of leukemia. As the Ditmars persevered through tragedy, Maribeth's journey of faith and finding God begins to unfold into a beautiful testimony of the faithfulness and love of God. She advocates and reveals the effectiveness of the 12 step recovery program that was also fundamental in her healing from the grief, and alcohol that captivated her mind and soul. Certainly life is not without troubles, tragedy and grief; yet, Maribeth presents to readers the eternal treasures of Heaven and hope found in Jesus Christ as her family found themselves among the minefields of life. Learning to dance among the minefields speaks of faith tried in the fires of adversity. Her words expressed in this book coupled with some heavenly experiences of the life yet to come display the reality of a world that awaits us that is far beyond this trivial place we call Earth. This is a place where a piece of her heart resides, as she knows that she will see her beloved sons once again. This reunion and redemption on Earth for the meantime is something all of us have to look forward to being in the family and Body of Christ. Her book inspires and gives those that have experienced great tragedy to look forward to eternity and to live enjoying their present.
