Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the Hurt with God as my therapist is the story of my journey toward uncovering and pursuing my destiny. The book contains biblical truths and draws some parallels to some stories from the Bible. The hope for this book is for it to reach all the people who are or have been hurt by experiences that life sends to challenge and break the psyche. The journey outlined in this book spans over twenty years and started with the end of my first marriage. I share experiences from the struggles of single-parenthood, failed relationships, low self-realization, low self-actualization, low self-regard, and a lack of love for myself. Many of the experiences that were shared in this book were difficult to put into words, but they are my truth. I wanted to show every reader of this book that despite the extent of your brokenness, there is a God who loves you and will heal you if you let Him. My life experiences have taught me that each of us can change and grow. It took many years and many failures to realize that I would not find peace in my soul until I allowed God to do the work in me. When I turned my life to God's complete control, He had to show me the truth about me. My truth was ugly, it was messy, and it seemed insurmountable. God had a plan for me. My Christian life was not without struggles and heartache, but God showed me His plan for me. Once I allowed God to break open my secret parts, I recognized many faults that I was unaware of. Then God showed me His principles that I had to live by. Living God's way is not easy, but my life was totally revolutionized. Through the study of God's word, I learned how to conduct myself and live by His word. Through heightened education, I learned emotional intelligence. I became equipped for where God was taking me. I am not the person I used to be, neither am I finished with my therapy. I am better than I was and more determined to equip others for success.
