This Earthly Tent

Janelle Green was a vibrant young wife and mother in 1975. She and her husband Rick had two wonderful little boys and had just welcomed their beautiful little adopted daughter from Vietnam. They were like many other ordinary young families when suddenly her life took on a whole new dimension. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that affects the central nervous system. This is her story-a story of strength, determination and a profound faith in God, a faith that has enabled her to live a life that is an inspiration to us all. In her own words, she tells of her struggles, her triumphs, her dark days and her optimism. Through it all, she relied on her strong belief in God and the promises in His Word. Her book will be a blessing to all readers. Janelle Green is a wife, mother, and a grandmother. She and her husband, Rick have been married for 44 years and have lived in their home near Columbia, South Carolina for 37 years. They have 3 grown children, Alan, Scott and Leah. Alan and his wife, Leslie, have made them the proud grandparents of two beautiful granddaughters, Meredith and Jenna. Janelle has been an active member of Trinity Baptist Church for 25 years. She has had MS for 31 of her 62 years and through the grace of God maintains an active, giving and caring life without depression, anger, or blame, in spite of her illness. She still ministers to others by phone and has a weekly prayer group in her home. She hopes that her story will give others hope, through her positive attitude, her optimism and her belief in God's promise that there are better days ahead.
