Review Quotes:
"One cannot meet Beth Robertson without sensing something different-a difference born of the Spirit of God and a relationship to Him made possible through Jesus Christ. Told with wit and pathos, and her trademark honesty, the stories in these pages testify to that difference, together with the hope and joy that have carried Beth through some truly remarkable transitions. May her story move you deeply, the way Beth herself has moved all those fortunate enough to have met her." James Cooper, Head of Creative Writing & Communication, Tabor Adelaide
"Into the Light is an inspiring and fascinating memoir, brimming with love, peace and humour, a true story of spiritual growth and transformation. It portrays a wise and beautiful life lived in a constant desire to seek relationship with God. From racial ostracisation as a child and having little sense of identity, the young Beth grows from fear to faith and giving thanks in all circumstances, whether it be nursing in Australia or Sudan, singleness or marriage. What startling stories of being found by God's love, healings and of miracles! Beth points out that as you grow closer to the light the more spots show, but I discovered that Beth's light, reflected from her Lord, shone out brightly to all she met. This life story could easily sit beside Patricia St John's memoir." - Dr Rosanne Hawke, Author, Former Creative Writing lecturer, Tabor Adelaide
