When Love Fails, When Love Works — God Is Still Greater: A Book on the Love That Never Fails

What do you do when the strongest love you know is not strong enough?

Whether you were wounded by a parent who left, blessed by a family who stayed, or somewhere in between — this book is for you.

In When Love Fails, When Love Works — God Is Still Greater, minister and missionary Sheila Victoria Yi walks through three powerful scriptures that together form one life-changing truth: God reveals His love through the image of a mother, surpasses it when it fails, and demands priority over it when it succeeds.

Woven throughout is Sheila's own extraordinary story — from growing up in the Spanish-influenced city of Zamboanga in the Philippines, to a thirteen-year-old's first encounter with Jesus, to walking away from a green card to plant churches in the slums of Manila, to the miraculous moment decades later when her mother finally opened her heart to God.

This is not a book of easy answers. It is a book about the love that holds when everything else lets go.

"Though my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord will take me in." — Psalm 27:10
