As a recently saved Christian, Angela Drayton’s testimony Living Two Different Worlds
was a blessing to read. As she describes her progression through life as a young child,
teenager, first time mother, and then finally a saved and repentant Christian – I found I
was able to relate to her on many levels. Though she went through serious trials in her
life, Angela’s book read like a conversation with a new friend. You can hear her
laughing as she tells her story. She has fond memories from her whole life – even
thought it was not the easiest.
Drayton’s love for God shows on every page – she continues to thank Him for everything
in her life. I could tell from the very first page that she was a saved woman and I was
drawn to her story. I ask myself how to be a better Christian every day and Angela
showed me how in her short book. I hope this book reaches many people, especially
young women who think they’re having fun partying and clubbing. I once did, just like
Angela. After becoming saved – you look back on your life and see that you were living
in a different world. The title Angela chose for her book is so appropriate, it perfectly
describes what it feels like looking back on your life as a saved Christian.
This memoir is a quick read, perfect for an afternoon spent traveling or inside at home.
Angela’s experiences made me so grateful for my own parents – and right in the book
she says “cherish your parents.” She gives a lot of wisdom throughout her book, but she
shows so much gratitude towards her mother. I have a very close relationship with my
mom and I am so lucky to have her. After reading this book I am even more grateful for
my own mother and father as well.
Angela’s story shows such a different life experience – it makes the reader consider their
own difficulties and problems in life. After reading this book I have a closer
understanding of what single mothers go through and what they do for their kids. I
would not wish for anyone to become a single mother but I do know that every woman
has the strength and courage to take care of their children. I pray that Angela Drayton’s
memoir makes it into the hands of people who need to read it the most. I hope it
inspires them, strengthens them, and gives them the courage to trust God.
