Never Forsaken Press Release
A CBM Christian Author Press Release
Yorba Linda – California,
December 8, 1941 – The day after the date that has lived in infamy (December 7, 1941), the bombing of Pearl Harbor – this is where this story begins.
This is the incredible true story of Marion Ghent and her family. Marion was the daughter of a missionary in the American Bible Society and the youngest of eleven children, and her daughter, Cindy Scott, has completed Marion’s life testimony of growing up in the Philippines during WWII. From the shock of World War II, and life growing up on a 50-acre coconut plantation, her life reveals survival through treacherous turmoil and upheaval of war. An uprooted family, her brother-in-law landing in a Japanese POW camp, and hiding from the dreaded Moros (ancestors of Islamic extremists), you won’t be able to put this book down.
Then, at last, coming to America for a better life!
Cindy Scott, Marion Ghent’s daughter, has fulfilled her mother’s dying wish to finish her mother’s memoir. Marion Ghent’s story is revealed here, offering a legacy from the simple life of living among the coconut groves, to her unwavering faith in God, in Never Forsaken.
This book is a labor of love for Cindy Scott who was brought to America from Manila in 1964. Travelling without her parents, Cindy, and her brother, were sent first with their mother to follow. As an accomplished writer and oil paint artist, Cindy spent 29 years serving as a U.S. Air Force military spouse, having resided all over the U.S. and Europe. With her husband Wayne, they have spent twenty-five years in marriage ministry. Cindy also spent twenty of those years in leadership positions on the board of officers' spouses clubs in the military. After retiring in 2005, Cindy and her husband moved to Yorba Linda in 2006 where they have resided ever since. Keeping her promise to her mother, Cindy is now releasing this story relating that we are “never forsaken” by God.
Readers will be amazed at Marion's active faith, strength and courage as Marion relies on God. Her life demonstrates the incredible gift of the Gospel and the love of God from which nothing can separate us, not hardship, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword, as spoken of in Scripture.
What an unforgettable true story of triumphant faith and God’s faithfulness!

Never Forsaken Book Review
A Young Woman’s Gripping Account of Faith, Courage, and Survival during and after World War II
By: Cindy Scott
A CBM Christian Book Review
10.0+ out of 10.0 stars
Never Forsaken is a labor of love told by Cindy Scott, the daughter of Marion Ghent Jose Lau. Her mother’s memoir reaches back in time to the early 1900’s, through WWII, to present day. Cindy Scott spent two years gathering the several manuscripts her mother penned over fifteen years and combined them with taped interviews to fill in the gaps. The finished work fulfills her promise before her mother's death to see this book, Never Forsaken, published.
Never Forsaken is a true-life testimony of survival and restoration after WWII, including the big move to America for a better life. I was hooked from the first chapter. Marion’s rendition of life back then, her father’s radical transformation, becoming born again after being a drinker and gambler, reeled me right in. With a tinge of humor in the section of Papa’s new life, this is a touching sentiment of how the Word of God broke through such a calloused heart.
Readers will find Marion Ghent’s harrowing journey as a young girl in the Philippines an amazing adventure. Being the youngest of eleven living siblings and the daughter of a colporteur for the American Bible Society, surely this story is an inspiring read that relates God’s absolute faithfulness and how He works in the humblest of ways. The book also relays the efforts of the foot soldiers of the Gospel, and reveals the treasure of how the Gospel goes forth.
The Ghent’s surviving the shock of war and the tragedies that followed, shed light on loss, but a strong, persevering faith that comes to fruition in finding a new life in America. Certainly, this may be a movie in the making. Exciting, touching, and a powerful story, amazing endurance unfolds during some of life’s pivotal moments, relating Marion’s tale of never being forsaken by God.
Leading to a triumphant restoration with long lost family members after the scattering of the War years, the author takes readers from beginning to an end of an era long gone. One will be left in awe and find inspiration to all that Marion Ghent and her relatives had to go through during those humble years in the Philippines, escaping and hiding in the jungle for three years. In this miraculous book, history literally unfolds as the awful horrors of war in a foreign country. 
Cindy Scott has culminated history and the telling of Marion's story, and her life experience that also includes photos, maps, text and indexes explaining these far off and quite exotic places in the Philippines. What an amazing read!
One will find that faith, courage, and overcoming do not come without struggles. Yet, God is ever faithful!
This book comes highly recommended for those that enjoy true-life war stories, happy endings, with God in the mix! I sincerely hope this book becomes a movie. For me, as one who reads many books, this one was truly memorable and unforgettable.
