Summary

Anna, a devout Catholic in Louisiana, longed for a deeper relationship with God beyond ritual and tradition. She spent a decade searching for spiritual answers and finally discovered them through reading Scripture and learning about salvation by grace through Jesus Christ. Captivated by the Bible, Anna left many Catholic teachings behind and embraced a personal relationship with Jesus. However, her husband, Larry, remained unconvinced and insisted they stay in the Catholic Church while raising their two daughters. Obeying the biblical call to respect and submit to her husband (without disobeying God), Anna patiently prayed for him for 36 years. Over time, Larry began asking spiritual questions, watching Christian broadcasts, and talking about eternity. Ultimately, he affirmed that Jesus was indeed his Savior. Anna’s quiet faith, unwavering respect, and steadfast prayer became the witness God used to draw Larry to salvation in Christ.

Anna had been seeking spiritual answers for years. But after finally finding those answers in the Bible and joyfully sharing them with her husband, Anna realized her husband didn’t want anything to do with it. And if that was the case… how would Jesus want her to respond?
