Susan Goffard

Rescued by God

Susan Goffard is a woman who has lived quite an interesting and exciting life. Much of the excitement was dangerous and life threatening. This is her true story and reflects God's protection through the years, even though Susan did not realize how often God attempted to rescue her. She did not recognize the voice of God in her life until she was in her forties.

While this book is full of many adventures and near-death experiences, it is really a story of salvation, of being lost and finally being found. Susan ultimately realized, after many years, that God was watching over her throughout her life. He continued to call to her as she continued to run from Him. Yet, God never abandoned Susan. He saved her in every way.

This book is fast paced with a very deep message. It is full of grace and hope. Susan discovered that it is never too late to seek God. He protects each of us and is always there. Instead of running from Him, we need only to run toward Him, pray to Him, and allow him to direct our path. This is an excellent book which I highly recommend!

Full of Exotic Locales and Danger...

"I had no sense of the perils that awaited me. Maybe I had no sense at all," writes Susan Goffard in her book, Chased by God, Stalked by Death. Indeed, Susan, a true recounteur, shares the many dangers she walks headlong into, some out of pure naivetê, others unavoidable because of the remote and exotic locations in which she and her French foreign ministry husband, Luc, live.

From Laos, Arab countries, Ethiopia,Guatemala, Mexico, and even Wisconsin, near-death experiences haunt Susan or her immediate family members. Yet it takes forty years before Susan hears God's voice and realizes He is calling her through all this.

Thankfully, call her God does, and Susan clearly and unashamedly shares how she met Christ as her Lord and Savior. I loved that the transformation was so real in her life, it caused those around her to desire what she had found. What a challenge to me regarding living out my faith!!

If you enjoy exotic locales, slices of local life in said places, and the sense of impending peril, this is a great book. It was wonderful to see how God protected Susan when she wasn't yet aware of Him.
