Through the crucible of brokenness a few years ago, a choice became apparent as I questioned why GOD allowed an awful thing to happen to me. My choices were to turn further away from GOD, or turn toward GOD, try to draw near, and learn from the pain.

I chose GOD because I had nothing else left, and I had turned away before, sometimes in anger, and other times in disappointment. In the process of searching for answers and trying to find relief from the pain, I discovered GOD also exists outside the boundaries of formal Christian religion.

During the next several years while living alone, I explored the depths of GOD as revealed in His Word and discovered how deep (fathomless actually) is His love for us and how this love is expressed in and through and by Jesus. There is not enough space here to tell of just how much tenderness and mercy and love for us is contained in the Heart of Jesus.

This very Son of GOD surpassed all my expectations and gave me more in the way of healing and restoration than I ever hoped for. And, the majority of pain eventually passed.

Since my restoration from the fallout of divorce (I still struggle with PTSD, anxiety and depression), GOD blessed me with a desire to serve others who are on the path of brokenness and pain. By offering hope and encouragement as means of surviving the deep wounds left by suffering, whatever the cause, the core message of this book is based in the Biblical promises the Son of God gave during His time on earth.

In the Bible there is promised healing for those of us who have been struck down, a sword thrust through our souls.

Even then that healing may be partial. My own healing has been 80% and I continue to seek answers to the remaining 20% of residual emotional struggles.
