For those of you reading this, that means you have heard about my first book, Warrior through Grace. Thank you for your interest in my book! I started writing my book in December of 2022 after a friend of mine encouraged me to share my story/testimony and then told me that I should write a book. I spent most of my Christmas break writing my first three chapters. I can say the challenging part of writing was adding the details and painting a picture for the reader to see the situations because they were still so vivid in my mind, even after 40 years.
My story is actually not as unique as I thought it was initially! The more I share my story, the more people come up to me and share theirs. One part of me loves hearing that I am not alone but another part of me feels extreme sadness that there are others out there who have been abused, traumatized, lived in fear, or battled with addiction. It’s a dark world when someone carries the burden of fear or addiction. It consumes them!
I share my story because I want others to experience hope! I lived a long time thinking that there was no hope for relief, no hope for any understanding, and no hope to be free from addictive behaviors. It literally felt like chains were holding me down to the ground and I could not escape.
When you open the pages of my book, remember that we are all born sinners and we are all broken. I have turned away from drugs, alcohol, pornography, and other addictions that you’ll read about in my book. I have discovered a newfound freedom that I never want to lose. God has delivered me from generational tendencies so that I can provide a better life for my children and their children! I hope by reading my book you can discover better ways of living your life. I hope you’ll decide to become a Warrior!
