Pastorized - Paperback

by Constance Connie Reed Saizon (Author)

When author Constance Saizon told her mother she felt called to be a woman pastor, her mother was apprehensive at first about the calling. Her mother quickly became her biggest supporter, but Constance learned with this calling, she would endure many trials ahead. Her new autobiography, Pastorized, sets the storyline of her life in poetic verse, beginning with her mom's Christian influence on her youth to enduring her brother and father's deaths at young ages. The storms continued when she suffered in an abusive marriage with her alcoholic husband and also experienced a trial of her doing with a gambling addiction. However, Constance saw these trials as God having other plans for her destiny, leading her path to becoming a United Methodist pastor and using her experiences to help others in similar situations. Pastorized rhythmically describes God's loving knowledge of our callings and communicates that Jesus is with us always.
