Author Deborah McCarragher began her journey of creative writing soon after coming to know Jesus as her personal savior in 1989. She enjoys using her spiritual gifts of encouragement and teaching in her home church. The author’s candid approach makes this book an easy read, and compels the reader to join her in her quest to reach her husband for Christ. Her primary goal is to share her personal testimony with others while bringing hope and practical help through her books. She is also a small business owner for over 20 years as an accountant. Deborah and her husband reside in north Florida.

This book is dedicated to women everywhere who love Jesus, but their spouse doesn't share their passion. Deborah wrote "Mission Possible" during a time in her walk with the Lord of intense prayer and bible study. After looking for a book on the subject for herself, she discovered there were few to be found. God inspired her to write about her personal testimony in a way that glorifies Him, and gives hope and encouragement to other women. She candidly portrays her quest over time to reach her husband for Christ. Deborah loves the Holy Word of God and applies the scripture in a practical way to everyday life. Her desire is to reach across denominational lines and minister to women everywhere. "Mission Possible" is a powerful tool to use in an unequally-yoked marriage.

After 11 years of praying for my husband, I had given up hope. God placed your book in my hands at just the right moment. Biblical material written for women under our particular circumstances is hard to find. <strong><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';">Mission Possible</span></strong> is full of scripture and practical advice. It will be a book I read over and over again. Thank you for being a part of restoring my hope. </span></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;background:#ffffff none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;background:#ffffff none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"> <span style="font-size:10pt;color:#222222;font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';">Jill V.</span><br /> </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><br /><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000">As a Christ-centered Counselor in ministry for over 25 years, I find <strong><em>Mission Possible</em></strong> to be an important "must read" book for those who find themselves in a marriage where one partner is saved and the other is not. This would be the beginning of embracing Christ as Husband, and dying to self trying to change the earthly partner. It is in that surrender that one finds true peace and Christ can become Life.<br /> So <span class="yshortcuts">many marriages</span> go under because no one wants to embrace <span class="yshortcuts">Galatians</span> 2:20, that the life we now live, we live by THE FAITH OF THE <span class="yshortcuts">SON OF GOD</span> who LOVED US and GAVE HIMSELF for us. Only when we understand that it is His Faith, not ours, do we begin to appropriate the Word as living reality. Deborah does an excellent job delivering this message. I can only add a word of caution:<span> </span>That is when one is in an <span class="yshortcuts">abusive relationship</span> where there is physical and mental harm, one is free to depart. Departure is not then necessarily the end, but a time to rest while He works and reveals Truth...Truth that will set you free! </font></font></span></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><font color="#000000"><font size="3"><span> </span>Drucilla Graham, </font><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><font size="3">M.A., Pres.</font></span></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"> Faith Fellowship Ministries, Inc.</font></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><font size="3"><font color="#000000"><span> </span>Jacksonville, FL</font></font></span></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;background:#ffffff none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"> </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">If your husband is unsaved, take heart.<span> </span>A man is most likely to be led to faith in Christ by their believing wife.<span> </span>The sacred Scriptures are not silent concerning your role as a believing wife</span></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">with your unsaved husband.<span> </span>Deborah, has, in “Mission Possible”, expounded scriptures to encourage women to believe God with a “radical” faith for the salvation of their spouse.<span> </span>She</span></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">helps women fulfill their role in the marriage for the salvation of their mate.<span> </span>Give “Mission </span></font></span><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Possible” to any lady praying for the salvation of her husband.<span> </span>In Jesus,</span></font></span></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> </span><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> Scott Yirka, Pastor/Teacher</span></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> Hibernia Baptist Church</span></font></span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"><font color="#000000"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> Green Cove Springs, FL</span></font></span></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;background:#ffffff none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;background:#ffffff none repeat scroll 0% 0%;"> </p>
