Bought Lessons: A Bought Lesson Is A Learned Lesson

By Sylvia M Gates

A POWERFUL TRUE STORY OF ABUSE, FAITH, AND ENDURANCE. In this revised edition of "Bought Lessons," Rev. Gates shares the lessons she learned as she persevered through insurmountable difficulties. She is a domestic violence (intimate partner) survivor who was shot in the head three times at a close range. It rendered her paralyzed for life at the age of 21. Finally, 49 years later, she exposes her humanity. She talks candidly about how her abiding faith in God sustained her through her emotional and physical struggles. She also survived blood cancer twice. In the book, she wrote of obstacles that could have prevented her from succeeding. In retrospect, she credits the study of God's Word, and the powerful name SYLVIA, which means determined, is the propellant that helped her to succeed despite her many challenges. She includes a 12-week inductive Bible study that will motivate readers, young and old, to develop the biblical insight needed to find strength in the face of adversities. Bought Lessons is an easy read and will move readers to experience a wide range of emotions. All will be encouraged by the lessons Sylvia bought in the classroom of life.
