In this deeply personal journey, Taylor Turner shares her walk with God through seasons that challenged everything she thought she knew about faith. With honesty and vulnerability, she invites readers into her story, revealing what it truly means to trust God—not only in moments of joy, but in times when life feels uncertain, overwhelming, and beyond control.
This book is for real people who wrestle with doubt, who carry questions, and who have experienced seasons where belief does not come easily. It is for anyone who has ever wondered where God is in the middle of their story.
Though not a story of perfect faith, My Story, God's Glory is a story of growing faith. Page by page, one truth becomes clear: a relationship with God is not formed in comfort, but in surrender—shaped in the very moments that test us most.
Inspired by the call of Jesus in Mark 16:15 to “go into all the world and proclaim the gospel,” this story is shared to declare what God has done and to point others back to Him.
If you are searching, struggling, or longing for something deeper, this book will remind you that God is nearer than you think—and that your story is not finished.
Because even when faith feels weak, God remains faithful.
Excerpt
I want to begin this final chapter by making something very clear: nothing in my story is because of me. Everything I have walked through, every moment I survived, every piece of healing I experienced, none of it came from my own strength. It all came from God.
I am not special. Everyone has a story. Everyone carries pain, heartbreak, and struggles. But my prayer is that by sharing mine, the strong moments and the weak ones, you are pushed toward Christ. Not gently, but with urgency. Because we do not have time to waste.
Let me say that again:
We do not have time to waste.
I need God every single day. I am deeply grateful for how faithful He has been to me, even in moments when my faith in Him was weak. This chapter is my attempt to share the things God has revealed to me through years of pain, grief, healing, and restoration. My hope is that this book and especially this chapter draws you closer to Him.
That is why we share our testimonies.
Jesus said in Luke 8:39 (ESV): “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.”
That is exactly what I am doing here.
And I hope it inspires you to tell your story too. Let’s start with faith.
Faith
Faith is a simple word, but it becomes far more complex when we have to live it out. It is easy to say we believe in something, but real faith is revealed when life becomes difficult.
The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:7–8:
But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.
When Alvin had his accident, my faith was not deeply rooted in Christ. I believed in God, yes, but belief alone is not the same as knowing Him. When hard things happened, fear took over. Every time bad news came, I crumbled because my trust was not fully planted in Him. Faith does not come simply from saying you believe in Jesus. It grows through relationship.
A relationship means communication. It means knowing someone, deeply understanding their character, their goodness, their mercy. I did not truly know those things about God yet. I did not understand how deeply He loved me or how much He desired to give me life abundantly. That is why everything felt like it was falling apart.
But when your roots are planted in Christ, storms may come, and you may sway, but you do not collapse. You know the Highest King is with you. Nothing can stand against Him. So, if you want your faith to grow, it begins with something very simple.
Open your Bible.
