When Your World Ends: An Interview with Dawn Mann Sanders

Dawn Mann Sanders is an associate minister at First Baptist Church of Glenarden, Maryland, and newly published author of "When Your World Ends", a book about overcoming adversity and creating a new life - something she knows a great deal about.

After unproductive relationships and heartache, Dawn met the man of her dreams. They started a ministry, got married, got pregnant, and suffered a miscarriage. Shortly after a second miscarriage, Dawn's husband unexpectedly died. Dawn lets us into the rawness of her losses and how these losses affected her faith, her sense of self, and her sense of purpose. Using the story of creation from the book of Genesis, she illustrates the void and darkness of loss as a secret place where God hovers with those who are desperate to know how to begin again. When they're ready, He's ready to walk them through the rebuilding process, one day at a time.

This episode offers gentle steps for those asking the crushing question: What now?

"When Your World Ends" is out through IVP and available wherever you buy books.
