The Burden of Faith (Paperback)

"A LIFE WITHOUT SUFFERING CANNOT IGNITE THE FAITH THAT IS REQUIRED TO LIFT US OUT OF OUR PRISONS."

Inside The Burden of Faith, author Avalee Miguel shares the complex connection between faith, healing, and personal identity. As the daughter of her grandfather, a product of an incestuous relationship, Avalee shares her unique perspective on the complexities of faith, shaped by a tumultuous past.

With profound insight and vulnerability, she expresses how her strong belief in God has allowed her to develop passion and character through pain and pressure. Avalee reflects on how our challenges can be reconciled through the active application of faith even if they are painful truths. She challenges us with provocative statements, such as: "If our situations are going to turn around, it depends on us, not God."

Inside this book, Avalee invites readers to examine their own beliefs and the challenges that accompany them. She provides journaling space at the end of each chapter to allow you to reflect and heal as you experience the book. Her journey is one of resilience, as she seeks to leverage her experiences to be a voice and hope for others.
