God, Mt. Fuji, and Sweet Tea

“What a beautiful display of perseverance amid seemingly inevitable decay. God, Mt. Fuji, and Sweet Tea is a carefully worked piece of literature where Janet Smith lays bare and transparent the hopes and dreams of a marriage gone wrong, yet not beyond hope. Through her faith, consistent prayers, and the grace of God, the covenant she entered decades before is restored and made whole. An excellent read for those feeling stuck in a relationship that cannot be repaired.” — Tiffany Sneed, Col., United States Army, Marriage Ministry Leader, South Hairston A.M.E. Church

Janet’s heart for God, her desire for a God-honoring marriage, and her passion for the man she promised to love and cherish for a lifetime flows throughout God, Mt. Fuji, and Sweet Tea. Janet’s story is every woman’s story who’s ever considered giving up on her marriage. Desperate to hold onto her marriage, she journeyed with her family across the world to teach military kids and start afresh. But it was Janet who learned more than she ever dreamed possible—about herself, her marriage, and a faithful God, when she climbed to the summit of Mt. Fuji. Journey with Janet through her story and you might share a similar pilgrimage to a renewed marriage and deeper relationship with the Lord.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5

If you are in a relationship that is physically or mentally abusive, please seek help immediately through someone you trust in your family, on your job, in your community, or church. Remember, you are not alone.
