Natasha’s voice is always inexplicably Spirit-led. When I read her first book, I had no idea I was in for a convicting, challenging, yet genuinely touching read. When I dove into Counting Grains of Sand, I knew exactly what to expect and Natasha does not disappoint. If you’re looking for a fresh look at loss, redemption, and God’s provision, settle in with this book and prepare to be inspired.
