Book Cover & Preview Text
I had to face my own lack of integrity. I had to admit to myself that I destroyed my reputation and that others looked at me with wariness. I walked through my days in a haze of self-accusation and fear of what lay ahead. What if I tried to befriend people and they turned their backs on me? I needed guidance and knew that any person I turned to might recoil at my story. I had to fall on my knees and beg God to help me.

About the Book
This book is for women who are struggling to put their past behind them, women who could relate to and begin living for God, women who, like me, are struggling with guilt and shame over things they did and said that could never be taken back and wouldn’t be forgotten. I fervently prayed, “Lord, give me the wisdom and words I need to help others.” When Jesus promised the disciples that the Father would send a counselor to be with those who loved him, he said, “But the Counselor the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26 NIV). Praise God that I have the Holy Spirit to counsel me and give me the words that he would have me share with others.
