Defeating Trauma

Defeating Trauma

Is It Possible to Overcome the Past?

One might say with a past like April's, it's good that her past is behind her. But they would be wrong.

God does something beyond our understanding. He not only forgives us, but our Father, who knows all things, chooses then to perfectly forget our transgressions, and promises never to remember them against us again, in this life or the next.

That, friend, is our Father's love.

Although He allows us to remember, He removes the pain and the shame. This allows us to use our former lives as flashing warning lights to caution others from taking the wrong roads we once did.

As I read April's book, I was captivated by her transparency. Raw, engaging and deeply emotional are words that come to mind. I assure you that to share at this level requires great humility.

That explains this book. Thank you, April, for allowing us to learn these important life lessons that we might become, like you, a Proverbs 31 woman of God. I highly recommend you read this book.
