Shame, Pain, Gain: 7 Steps to a Turnaround

Healing is something that does not come naturally unless the person wants to be restored.

This book is dedicated to anyone in need of healing.

Social media and the entertainment world have changed people’s perceptions about the sanctity of their bodies. It has become commonplace to go against God’s ordinance as it pertains to a union.

Some people never recover from encounters they have had in past relationships. The effects of soul ties could haunt if they are not dealt with. The after-effects of sexual impurity or addictions are rarely discussed, because people relish the here and now, but do not share the pain or the mental anguish they suffer after their happenstances.

From the foundation of the world, His plan is executed in our lives with a particular purpose. Although times change, God’s Word does not change. God outlines how He will give us the desires of our hearts if we delight in Him. In this millennial world and technological society, with its deception and perception, it is easy to get caught up in moments that could have long after-effects, but through God’s grace, it is possible to regain healing and wholeness.
