CHURCH IS A PLACE where believers are supposed to assemble to praise and worship our God. From the pressures of life to the disappointments of the week, the church is where we receive our healing, deliverance, direction, and peace. Not only do we worship, but also we fellowship with our brothers and sisters in what should be a loving, nurturing, and caring atmosphere.
Journey with me through the valley of the shadow of death, as this book depicts the betrayal, hurt, and humiliation that my family suffered at the hands of God's anointed. This is a story of survival through the trenches of the church world. Despite everything we have gone through, God is still faithful to His word concerning my family and me.
Be blessed, encouraged, and strengthened by my transparency.

A Must-Read for Healing and Freedom!
As a former pastor and leader, I was convinced at the introduction! After reading the first chapter, I made calls and sent messages of four apologies.

Reading her story gives you proof that God sends us physical Angels on earth to remind us that we, too, can get through anything as long as we keep faith in God!

The author's transparency will make you laugh, cry and identify with her story! Most of all, you will definitely be blessed by her remarkable testimony of how she and her family suffered through numerous accounts of church hurt at the hands of pastors and leaders they loved and trusted. BUT GOD!!!
