Gripped (ePub)

Struggling with anxiety? Wondering why all these things are happening to you? Do you struggle with your health or relationships? Do you wonder where God is in the middle of all this mess? Gripped is more than the relatable struggle over good and bad choices, more than dealing with life's issues, more than understanding God's word; it is the necessary empowerment for us to find the one thing we all need: an understanding of God's love for us and it all starts with knowing our place in the universe. Gripped is an inspiring allegorical memoir of a young woman who was gripped by life's many challenges and much adversity through relationships, single-motherhood, and a lifetime of illness. It is also a spiritual growth journal as it is written in fantasy story-form in three perspectives - a Destroyer, a Protector, and the Image-Bearer. Readers will be captivated and empowered as they are able to relate to the Image-Bearer as she handles the bitter cold of strife and destruction, and the protective warmth of Light and Truth. As Destroyer's presence dominated her life, the Image-Bearer lost her own identity. She felt worthless and sought love and validation in all the wrong places while a Protector continually whispered words of Truth and Love. Words she couldn't hear until one day God powerfully broke through the chaos to remind her of who she is.
