Publisher's Synopsis
Revelation 12:11 (AMP) - "And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death."
It is a universal truth that our words have power... to encourage and inspire others. Whether spoken or written, the power of an individual's story of triumph can change the course of an individuals' life. The stories in this book are no different. They are the real experiences of women who encountered difficulties, but came out on the other side. Though they bear bruises and scars, figuratively and literally, they have chosen to bear them in hopes that others will be liberated. Overcoming various traumas like rape, shame, sexual and verbal abuse, and learning to navigate seasons of loss and grief, is not always easy to do. In fact, the scars and impact of these traumas can be crippling and seem never-ending; but we have hope in God and in the power of community! As you read these testimonies, we pray that you will be inspired to share your story, embrace your truth, and bear your scars for the world to see. You, too, are a key that will unlock the door of destiny for many others.
