Opening pages have pale tide stains along upper edges and corners; pages are clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaree de Jong shares a personal story of adversity, faith and the possibility of a different future. Looking back on experiences that could have defined her life through hurt and limitation, she describes the significance she found in Christian belief and the gradual reshaping of her outlook. Her account connects private struggles with family, marriage and the development of a life in church ministry alongside her husband, Paul. The image of a diamond in the dirt becomes a way of thinking about value that is not immediately visible. Written as an encouraging testimony, the book invites readers to consider hope, restoration and purpose through the author's own understanding of God's presence in the difficult and unexpected turns of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67822684438740,"sku":"TVJ-034918","price":9.2,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-034918-1.jpg?v=1792372097","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/a-diamond-in-the-dirt-jong","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
