Songs in the Night
Trusting God's Promises in the Dark Hours Volume 1

Book Cover & Preview Text
Over the years, several people have told me, "You should write a book!" I have always thought that my book would not be very edifying since my life has not been a "Happily ever after" story. As the years have passed, I now realize that life has many obstacles, mountains, and valleys. God is with us through every step we take. He is the faithful friend who never leaves or forsakes us. He has been patient with me and I felt it was time to begin sharing my journey.
Songs have always been a comfort to me in the night seasons. Even the Psalmist, David, had songs of deliverance, as he faced his battles. Both Pastor David Schoch and Audrey Mieir told me that I needed to publish my songs. I decided to include some of these songs, so I will, at least, be publishing the lyrics.
As the Bible was written, God did not leave the bad parts out, to shield us from the reality of the consequences of our decisions. He told the whole story without trying to make it look pretty, so I am telling my story to openly share, from my heart.
Also, since God's Word records the generational history of God's people, I have included information about my own family's heritage and their influence on my life.
The "Master Weave" has woven my life though many ministries and organizations. I am now seeing a clearer picture of the design, rather than the underlying, ugly and confusing knots. There are no perfect people and there is no perfect ministry, but God is willing to use anyone who will take up their cross and follow Him.
He is faithful to complete what He has begun in each of our lives. We can be confident of His promises and know that Jesus never fails!

About the Book
Beverly Jan Norberg knows that even though life is filled with many obstacles, mountains, and valleys, God has been with her through every step as a faithful friend who never leaves or forsakes her.
In an inspirational retelling of her spiritual journey, Norberg relies on journals, scrapbooks, photo albums, ministry records, and other documents to chronicle her story, beginning with a childhood immersed in prayer, healings, Billy Graham and Oral Roberts crusades, and campus crusades for Christ. As she relays her varied experiences, she details the growing pains of ministry as well as the pitfalls that some of the faithful experienced along the way while shining a light on God’s mercy and faithfulness. Additionally, she shares insight into her personal relationships with those who stumbled and how she walked with them as they finished their race. Throughout her memoir, Norberg provides encouragement not only to those who have walked with God for decades, but also to those who are just beginning their journeys.
Songs in the Night chronicles a Christian’s walk of faith as she learned that nothing surprises Him, even when it goes against His plan and purposes.
