What is the meaning of our pain? Where was God in the struggle? Why should we keep going? Radiant Faces, Pierced Palms is not only a journal through recovery following an extensive medical treatment from an aggressive tumour, but an honest reflection of one's multifaceted healing and a showcase of God's sovereign hand in the process. This book illustrates opportunities for growth, refinement and resilience presented through trials, while inviting the reader to embrace the momentary suffering in light of purpose and eternal glory. Nomalungelo (Noma) Nyoka is an aspiring author and the founder of Crowned in Covenant – a ministry that cultivates a covenant-centred way of living through written and spoken word. In her debut book Radiant Faces, Pierced Palms, Noma inspires a life of faith that honours God and finds hope in hardship - a foundational value of her ministry. She and her husband, Mpumelelo, have three young children and reside in South Africa. "Prepare to be moved, inspired, and ultimately encouraged by this well written and personal journey of one's life experience." – Rev SC Mathebula, Author & Lead Pastor (Hope Restoration Ministries)
