​​In Memory of Susan Denise Atkins-Whitehouse

Like You Wouldn't Believe

At the beginning of Susan's works
The Dove's Nest Newsletters A Collection of Christian Newsletters
by Susan Atkins-Whitehouse,
Susan's husband wrote an introduction, as we know.

As we've learned earlier,
Susan's husband told us of Susan's friend
who helped Susan create and maintain her website.
Susan's husband continued in his introduction to it's end;

---

"...I said all this in the original Introduction,
because that's what I remembered looking back.
And then I sat down to proof read the letters as the book 
was put together. And I realized none of that really mattered.
What really struck me as I reread these letters
was how much they sounded like Susan
just sitting next to me talking.
And how much she loved the Lord
​and loved sharing about the Lord.
And how much He played a part in her everyday life.
And how she was able to make God's work in her life
​seem so fun and so natural"

This is apparent to Susan's readers.

Susan's husband concluded his introduction;
​
"So here are the letters Susan produced.
They are interesting in part because
​ they show Susan's understanding
and devotion to the Word,
in part because they show
how she used the Word in her daily life
​to survive and thrive
for forty years in the prison environment,
but mostly because they give a glimpse
into just how much Susan loved our Lord and Savior
​ and how much she wanted
to share that knowledge with others.
I hope you enjoy them"

We do enjoy them,
like you wouldn't believe...
