From Silver to Gold

From Silver to Gold is Corene Lewis Stennis's powerful testimony to the value of God's love, demonstrated through marriage. A pregnant high school senior, Corene refused to let her circumstances define her, holding fast to her childhood dream of becoming a nurse. Fred, a tenacious young man driven from his home in rural Arkansas by racial upheaval, rebuilt his life in Omaha, Nebraska, with his sights set on owning his own business.

When their paths crossed in 1964, they built a relationship that began as fool's gold. Still, through nearly 50 years of transitional years, hardship, and the continual guidance of the "Wonderful Counselor" of Isaiah 9:6, it was refined into silver, and eventually genuine gold. This is a moving testimony of endurance and grace, proof that marriage, rooted in faith, can survive today's changing times and shine as an example of how God loves us.
