About This Book
In 1983, police knocked on Verna McFelin’s door in New Zealand and arrested her husband Paul for kidnapping. He was sentenced to eleven years. She was left with her children, her faith, and no name for what she was living. Not a widow. Not divorced. Not a victim in any way the world around her recognised as a story worth telling.

The Invisible Sentence
Author(s): Verna McFelin
NZ Biography & Memoir
The incredible story of how a woman and her family survived poverty and injustices, and yet received miraculous provision. How did a woman who suffered such trauma go on to change the face of the justice system in New Zealand and the world?
Verna McFelin’s gripping account of her life after her husband’s arrest and incarceration for kidnapping is a stirring, enthralling and inspirational story. Her life of hardship and poverty is laced with the reality of God’s miraculous love and filled with expressions of her enthralling relationship with God, and her love for her children, and the multiple people she meets and supports along the way.
It is absolutely fascinating, packed with Christian lessons, and is an extremely inspiring read. The Invisible Sentence comes very highly recommended by Chick Lit Cafe – and they declare it the must-read, 5-star memoir of the year!

About The Writer
Verna McFelin, MNZM
Everything I write, I have lived first.
I write as an apostolic kingdom strategist, an intercessor, and a watchman, listening to God before I speak and naming what I see.
For thirty-two years I stood at prison gates, alongside families carrying a weight no court could measure. Pillars Ka Pou Whakahou grew from that ground, and INCCIP followed, now reaching over twenty-seven countries.
