FINDING GOD IN SIN CITY

This is the first edition book of Lynette’s spiritual journey about what she learned about the faithfulness of God after being criminally charged for election violations in 2006 while running for re-election as a Clark County Commissioner.  Justice ultimately prevailed and the case was ultimately dismissed and expunged.  The book shares the greatest lessons she learned about the nature of a God who loves unconditionally – even during the darkest seasons of our lives.  HigherLife Publishing, 2015.
