📝 Behind the Book
It took 7 years for me to complete From Surviving to Living. Some chapters were written in a single night, others took months of prayer and reflection. I wrote the book I wish I’d had years ago. Maybe if I’d had one like this my life, my family’s life, my victim’s life might have been different. I hope reading it will positively change your life!
It is no small thing to step out, put myself out there. On the one hand it’s scary. On the other – it’s more scary to ignore God’s desires. I would not have written this book if I didn’t feel His absolute command to do it. I know He will use it for His glory, and I pray He does. Any public response, good or bad, is His concern and none of mine.
If you’re reading this book as an ARC supporter, please know you are part of the story too. Your feedback and presence help bring this message to people who need it most. THANK YOU!
