When Mountains Don't Move: A True Story of Faith Under Fire
FOREWORD by Mark Hubbell, Northwest Area Director, Prison Fellowship
- - -
Betrayal, the barrel of a gun, and a jail cell. A true story fraught with drama, wrapped in humor, and filled with the miraculous intervention of God.
Because she refused to testify against her husband for actions she had already forgiven, Diana Weinberger, a former missionary, was incarcerated in an Idaho jail - a jail in which she had volunteered for a year in prison ministry!
Diana's marriage was on the rocks. Years of wandering from her Christian roots had led this former YWAM missionary down paths she would later regret. She and her husband, both successful career professionals, divided their time between the world of work and the world of play - a world of bikers and wild parties. By day, Diana was a respected court reporter, her husband, Larry, the owner of a flourishing dental laboratory. But weekends had them on the road with questionable companions and too much alcohol. Lonely and desperate, Diana made a choice one night that would haunt her and lead to catastrophe a decade later.
Now she found herself in a courtroom on the other side of the bench from where she had tapped out court proceedings, and then in a cell within the very facility where she had led women's Bible studies. She would not testify against Larry when he was arrested for domestic violence, and, to her dismay she learned that "spousal privilege" did not necessarily apply in this case.
Her career and her ministry were in jeopardy, as well as her personal safety behind bars. Would God bring good from the choice she had made from her conscience? Would her forgiving heart win mercy for herself, her husband and her future?
Join Diana as she struggles through the dark days that led to incarceration and redemption. Follow her as she learns that God can turn the direst circumstances to His glory.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"...This book will change your life...a gripping story of two lives being torn apart and then put together again. With amazing candor, Diana Weinberger takes on a journey that will challenge you to examine your own life and to consider how you would respond to the overwhelming challenges and decisions that she and her husband Larry faced." — MARK H. HUBBELL, Northwest Area Director, Prison Fellowship

"With candid honesty Diana writes about her journey through life. The good, the bad, and the ugly...." — MARIE PEREZ, Former Hospitality Department Head, M/V Anastasis

"For anyone who has struggled in a marriage or carried a hidden, dark secret, this is a must read. Diana writes with raw honesty about her marriage and the confession that almost cost her her marriage, her life, her reputation, and her freedom...." — JEANNE PALLOS

"Diana shares a heart wrenching, vulnerable and inspiring personal story sprinkled with humor and God's profound Word and strength. The transparency with which she writes is captivating. Thank you for sharing your journey of faith, forgiveness, redemption, and love!" — JULIE BROWNE

"Amazing story and an amazing woman! This book takes you from tears to laughter and back to tears again. Diana's story is gut-wrenching and very personal. Things you rarely even share with a best friend, Diana shares with the world. It's a reminder that God is always there for us even in our darkest hours. I will pass it on to my daughter and then read it again like I do all my favorite books" — DOREE ELAM

"This book was hard to put down. It made me cry sometimes and laugh other times. I don't remember another book that ever affected me like that. Diana has a gift with words. I could feel her feelings. I highly recommend this book." — SHIRLEY ALONZO, Legal Secretary

"What a triumphant story of redemption and God's intervention. I am deeply touched by the way Diana reveals God's character in so many facets, His mercy, His tenderness, His ability to answer prayer and to know your every need even before you ask. ...[P]eople ...will find themselves touched and challenged to walk with God in their own lives, and perhaps to remember Hebrews 13:3, "Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself..." — FAY WILLIAMS, Currently with Youth With a Mission, Former M/V Anastasis leader, Diana’s Discipleship Training School leader aboard the Anastasis in 1981
