He also shares the story behind his book, The Shadow: Walking Through the Valley, Abiding Under the Almighty, and the truths that helped him overcome the shadow of death through faith.Together, Jenni and Mike explore forgiveness as a form of judgment, the narrow path as loving guidance rather than punishment, and the surprising grace we encounter when we realize we have misunderstood God.
