This book is a scriptural companion to my story of abuse, sickness, and suffering. Finding Purpose after Abuse, a tool of empowerment for every survivor and inspiration for all those seeking freedom from a past they’d like to forget, was written for everyone desiring to be an overcomer. Everyone can learn to walk in freedom and victory by putting the past behind and living victoriously every day.

I encourage you to pray these scriptures over yourself and your loved ones until you begin to know who you are in Christ. Let the truth of God’s word permeate deep into your souls until you know that you are His beloved.

I have included positive affirmations along with each topic for you to speak positively over your life’s situations and circumstances.

Enjoy your discovery!

God bless you abundantly!
