Do you ever wonder why bad things keep happening to you, or to others you love? As you read Diane Bullock’s testimony in her book Chosen, some of these questions may be answered for you. Or if not answered, you may find the peace in the midst of your difficulties and problems. Some of the situations Ms. Bullock dealt with growing up were bullying, racism, harassment, and many other heartbreaking and hurtful things, all happening from early childhood years to adulthood. As Ms. Bullock kept asking the question why, Satan was still using his tactics to degrade her, and placed someone in her life to try to destroy her.

I like one verse Diane Bullock quotes on the back of her book, Chosen. It says, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper…” Isaiah 54:17. And as Ms. Bullock tells her story, the words of this Bible verse come to life and show God’s protective hand on her. I was amazed as I read Chosen and realized the difficulties she had to face from so many people. I just cannot understand why and how people can be so cruel to another human being. And it makes me wonder how many people have taken their own lives because they have been the victim of these horrible acts of cruelty. This subject is close to my heart because a family member took her life last year at the age of twelve because of being bullied for years. Because of this, I have been determined to speak out, and get the word out about books that talk about this subject. In Diane Bullock’s case, she turned to the Lord and His love, redemption and healing grace, and this book is about her life, and how God walked with her throughout her entire life. This is truly a book that will bless you and uplift in so many ways. I highly recommend this book to everyone, because everyone needs to hear this amazing story.
