Mission Possible

by Deborah McCarragher
(Orange Park, FL USA)

What inspired you to write this book?

I was involved with a local intercessory prayer group at the time, and was prompted by God during prayer to write down what He was conveying to me about my husband and his salvation. The book was quite literally written while inspired, and without much effort on my part.

I typed on the computer as He led me to Bible verses and topics to talk about. I remember writing down the names of the (7) chapters during prayer time on a tablet - just looking at them afterwards in awe. It was quite a moving experience.

Tell me about how your faith journey played a part in the process.

I married my first husband right out of high school. That marriage ended in divorce four years later. I then remarried in 1982 (to my current husband) and we’ve been married for 30 years.

Seven years into our marriage, I gave my life to Jesus as Lord and Savior. I began to grow and mature as a Christian through Bible studies and hearing God's Word preached. God impressed upon my heart the need to write down my journey in a spiritually mismatched marriage.

I think living in a spiritually mismatched marriage is really tough. All aspects of your relationship are affected, but the most noticeable is the lack of spiritual intimacy.

I believe it is my responsibility as a believing wife to "live out my faith" day by day in front of my spouse. It is God's job to woo him to Himself and change his heart.

What is the one message that you’re trying to get across?

I would love readers to discover that God has a plan for each marriage that is in spiritual disunity. It involves us, but it is always done HIS WAY! I want readers to know that it is a process that evolves over time, that we must not put God in a box, but give Him room to move in our spouse's life.

They need to know that because we are not perfect and continue to sin, that Satan will try to discourage and influence us (women) to believe that our "mission" is not possible - but with God, all things are possible!
