The Story of Lucy is a true story that happened in 1990. It is a profound story about the faith of a widow in a Nigerian jungle who cried out to God to save her and her children from certain starvation. It is a story of how God lovingly and miraculously reached across oceans and continents to see her need met.

In the process, He displayed His power to an entire jungle village, grew Lucy’s faith and provided meaning and encouragement to all who were touched in the process. You will be touched as well as you read The Story of Lucy.

Testimonials

“Thank you for The Story of Lucy. I want to hug the author’s neck. After reading it, I gave this book to my daughter. She had been going through such a hard time and my words seemed to be hitting a brick wall. I felt the Lord lead me to give her my copy of Lucy and prayed that she would read it. Within a week, I saw such a big change in her. She had hope again. She said once she started reading it, she could not put it down. She said the things she wanted to die over could not compare with what Lucy went through. She got back her hope and is doing so much better. She still struggles, but says she goes back and reads different parts of the Lucy story. It also made her want to read the Bible. I could not ask for more.”

The Story of Lucy touched the women of the Philippines greatly when we launched Women of the World there in 2005. We distributed 10,000 books to the ladies who gathered there and I spoke from the platform about Lucy. The women burst into tears as they acknowledged the power of God to provide. After this event, one church in the city of Alabang stressed female entrepreneurship using The Story of Lucy. Nine years later, that group supports missions in the Philippines, Southeast Asia and Africa.”

“I was recently given a copy of The Story of Lucy. I just want to say “Amen!” to Lucy’s prayer and constancy during her waiting for God to answer. What a woman! I love the fact that she even said a SINGER sewing machine!.”

“My name I Pastor Ellis McKenzie. It has been my privilege to distribute over 25,000 copies of The Story of Lucy across the Unites States and Caribbean – and I hope to do many more! Lucy’s story has brought hope and encouragement to so many people – and for many, it has been life changing! Personally, it has helped me to see how powerful God is and to never put limits on what He can do. I think it is one of the best stories ever written.”
