As God Is So Is She
It is absolutely remarkable that a person should think, act, love, and reflect the likeness of God so naturally. This very exclamation said it all: “I was living with an angel, and I did not know it!” How can a seemingly mere mortal display so perfectly so many divine attributes? In fact, the humanity of Wendy Boussougou, née Jackson, is a very rare phenomenon. It was a privilege to bear witness to the fact that she was in the world, yet not from this world, and thus to live to tell Wendy’s life story, which transcends all cultural barriers in a breathtaking ride from infancy to adulthood. This book rightly ascribes the characteristics of deity to Wendy.
