Jan's Endorsement

Ever thought you would die of embarrassment?  Me too.  It’s one of the most painful and lingering experiences of our lives.  If we allow it shame, pain and embarrassment will drive us into a grave of timidity, apathy and numbness, bringing a death to places in our hearts that were meant to flourish and bloom.  How do you move from death to life? In Revived: From the Me I Used to Be, Kerrie Oles shares her personal story of how she “woke from the dead” and began to grasp her life in Christ. Yet Kerrie goes further.  She doesn’t just share her story, she offers to lead others out of the grave and into the light of real life.  As I read this book, I was reminded of Lazarus.  He was dead.  Really dead.  Yet at a word from Jesus, he was revived.  When you hold this book in your hands you will be equipped to respond to a word from your Lord that will bring healing, restoration and even resurrection in the areas of your life that have suffered a form of death.  I recommend this book to men and women who want to experience the overcoming power of love and really live.

 By Alicia Guzzardo

Jan's Endorsement

As a young woman I struggled with great insecurities.  I worried about what others thought, fretted over my appearance and struggled to be sure I was a part of the right crowd and doing the right things.  I loved God and was obedient to my parents, but on the inside my heart was tossed and torn by all kinds of fear.  As I read Ever After, The Truth Behind the Happily, I found myself easily relating and joyfully celebrating Alicia Guzzardo’s story of how she was set free from fear and found her value in Christ alone.  Alicia can help you too.  She frankly addresses the secret thoughts, hopes and dreams of a young woman and helps her learn to bring her desires and thoughts captive to Christ alone.  She speaks up about sex, dating, boyfriends, dreams, insecurity and waiting. I’d recommend this book to every young woman, to every mom of a young woman, and to every one of us who have wrestled with deep-seated questions about our value, purpose and dreams.

Hope Prevails Bible Study: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression

By Dr. Michelle Bengtson

In Hope Prevails, Dr. Michelle Bengtson provides some profound wisdom for us all. 

By Dr. Michelle Bengtson

Jan's Endorsement

I often see the long-term and devastating effects of the hard to define, hard to leave behind, ravages of depression. It seeks to wear down and wear out our hope.  When seeking to help another caught in despair, I’m acutely aware of how inadequate I am to help them, realizing that Christian platitudes and casual verses only serve to make them feel more alone or misunderstood.  In Hope Prevails, Dr. Michelle Bengtson provides some profound wisdom for us all.  By sharing her own transparent journey of recovery, Michelle offers a break-through approach that focuses on the spiritual component of recovery as a means to overcome.  This book finds the cross roads between treatment and faith.  What you hold in your hand is a rare gift.  It’s hard to find a person who will be so honest about his or her own struggle in order to help you with yours.   It’s a double blessing when that person also possesses the expertise, experience and grace to meet your needs.  I recommend this book, and this woman, to those caught in the trap of depression.  There is hope and it does prevail.
