Learn about her journey of faith, the healing she experienced in the wilderness, and how she found strength in scripture and music.

Quotes referenced by Christi Nielson: "So grace is not a booster engine that kicks in once our fuel supply is exhausted. Rather, it is our constant energy source. It is not the light at the end of the tunnel but the light that moves us through the tunnel. Grace is not achieved somewhere down the road. It is received right here and right now. It is not a finishing touch; it is the Finisher’s touch (see Hebrews 12:2)." Brad Wilcox, BYU Speeches, 2011
