    About this ebook

    Marilyn Meberg has presented the gospel message to nearly two million women through the Women of Faith conferences. This experience, coupled with her background in psychology and as an author, uniquely qualifies Marilyn to write this evangelism booklet designed specifically for women.

    Based on the theme of being chosen by God and adopted into His family, Marilyn draws parallels from her own experience of having a son by birth and a daughter by adoption. In her inviting, delightful fashion, she leads readers to the ultimate question of their own eternal destiny.

    Through high visibility and promotion at every Women of Faith conference throughout 2003, this witnessing tool will impact women throughout the country.

    For less than a cup of gourmet coffee, women can give this small book to a friend. The result could be untold lives committed to Christ.

      THE GREATEST QUESTION

      ON THE PLANET

      Like a puzzle, every decision we make pops a little piece of our lives into place and establishes a pattern. For example, I decided to accept Ken Meberg’s marriage proposal, and the result was a beautiful baby boy, Jeff Meberg. What if I had married Charlie Dillbean? There would never have been a Jeff—instead perhaps only a series of little Dillbeans whom I know I could not love like I love Jeff. And what about our adorable adopted daughter, Beth? If I hadn’t chosen Ken as my mate, Beth would have been placed into some other couple’s home, where she could not possibly have known the richness of soul we provided. (That, of course, is my biased opinion.)

      And another thing: What if Ken and I had stayed in Seattle (we
