My Story, God’s Glory

About the Book

Muriel Bell was born in 1918, during the Great Generation. She has seen firsthand the prohibition and the legalization of alcohol. She’s seen the overturning of Jim Crow laws and Black people move from the back of the bus to the front. She’s seen civil rights marches like the ones with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and she witnessed the fall of segregation and saw the integration of public schools and public establishments. At the age of 105, Bell shares the story of her long life in My Story, God’s Glory, telling how she overcame childhood trauma, racism, and plain old, everyday hard times. Not only a memoir, her narrative offers a walking history lesson as well as a plain talking, how-to guide on living life to the fullest. My Story, God’s Glory chronicles Bell’s experiences, the personal tragedies and triumphs, and demonstrates firsthand how a loving God rescued and redeemed the life of a lost little girl from a broken home.
