Good morning, dear reader! I hope your Christmas holiday was filled with laughter. I was blessed to have all my children with me. Something a mom looks forward to during the holidays.
Now, we’re nearing the end of this year and I have one more surprise.
Today is release day! That means you can purchase an ebook or paperback of my memoir from Amazon. Or if you’re a member of Kindle Unlimited, you can read it for free.
Here’s the blurb.
When long-buried memories of abuse resurface, Gail faces a choice: continue ignoring the implications of her nightmares and remain a captive of fear and shame, or dare to remove the painful chains binding her present to her past. Unearthing the sorrows of her past would not be easy and distressing questions would arise along the way to challenge her faith.
Why would a God of both love and justice allow this abuse?
Why does He expect me to forgive my abuser?
If He let this happen, does He truly love me at all?
In her memoir, Treasures of Hope: Discovering the Beautiful Truth Beneath My Painful Past, Gail Johnson shares the truths she uncovered while studying earlier daughters of both harm and hope. As she became better acquainted with women of the Bible like Sarah, Rachel, Hannah, Rahab, Tamar, and Esther, their stories spoke truth into her own, mining the jewels of Identity and Purpose, Intimacy, Incomparability, Courage, Peace, and Victory. With each new discovery, Gail traded a length of chain for a balm of gold . . . and unearthed treasures that would sever the past’s stranglehold on her life, allowing her to live joyously in the present and anticipate the future with emboldened hope.
Treasures of Hope: Discovering the Beautiful Truth Beneath My Painful Past is my story but also it is HIStory. It is a story of hope and triumph. I pray you enjoy reading about my journey to freedom.
Before you go, thank you for your encouragement during this process. And thank you in advance for purchasing my story. ❤
