Broken Lenses: Identifying Your Truth in a World of Lies

By Emily Bernath

Broken Lenses reveals the truth of who God made people to be and the freedom that results from living out that truth.

A rape survivor, Emily Bernath’s life quickly turned away from having everything to feeling hopelessness and worthlessness. It was during that time of being open about her experience that it became apparent to her just how many other people experience those same feelings and so easily allow things that aren’t true about them define who they are. Broken Lenses stems from a passion to take outreach to the next level. Inside, Emily identifies some of the most popular lies people believe about themselves and pulls out the 12 biggest Biblical truths Christians should embrace in their own lives, such as “I am lovable” and “I am not a failure.”

With her scientific background and tell-it-how-it-is approach, Emily analyzes and connects each truth to God’s word through a few key lessons for each truth. She calls out the ways in which the enemy prevents people from believing these truths about themselves and what it looks like to truly embrace each of these truths. Ultimately, Broken Lenses helps readers achieve a more intimate relationship with God and the freedom that He desires each of his children to live in.

Emily Bernath

A passionate advocate for survivors of sexual assault—and a rape survivor herself—Emily Bernath began writing out of her passion for women’s ministry. Her personal tragedy led her into periods of darkness that she was only able to move beyond with the support of others and the healing power of Jesus. After rediscovering her faith and identity in Christ, Emily was able to discover freedom from the shame, condemnation, and abuse she experienced. Today, she lives to be a resource for other sexual assault survivors and help them find that same freedom.  In her advocacy work, Emily has spoken at many events, radio shows, and been featured on FOX 13 Salt Lake City. She teaches classes about the spiritual impact of sexual assault and how faith plays a role in a survivor’s healing journey. She also supports survivors by serving on the board of Reveal to Heal International—a faith-based non-profit that seeks to address sexual abuse prevention and awareness. In her career as an author, Emily has won multiple book awards, been featured on CBS in both Salt Lake City and Toledo, and done book signings in eight different states. Her third book, Broken Lenses Volume 3: Experiencing God’s Freedom in a World of Sin, addresses the personal nature of God and his desire to connect with his creation. When she’s not writing, Emily Bernath enjoys drinking good coffee, playing softball, supporting her local church, and connecting with other people to hear their stories. She currently resides in Salt Lake City.
