Nicole Crankyouve done it again! I am so moved by your testimony! One thing Ive learned in my life on this earth is that people connect more with our imperfections than our perfection. Because of your bold, transparent testimony, lives are going to be changed and healing is going to happen. I really cant wait to get this book into the hands of people who I know are going to find freedom as they grow closer to the Lord. Of course, isnt that what the Bible says, by the power of our testimony? Im anxious to see how God uses this to help so many people find healing, wholeness, and walk into their destiny!
Kami Pentecost, Senior Vice President of It Works
Sometimes, we make issues about others when lifes complications are really dealing with our own insecurity. Nicoles words are a gentle scalpel to reveal the areas in our life that feel dead and lifeless and show us how to live fully alive. If you need someone to walk alongside and breathe some life into you, this book is for you!
Bianca Juarez Olthoff, Pastor, Speaker, Bestselling Author of How to Have Your Life Not Suck
Nicoles story is vibrant, compelling proof that the pain in our past doesnt have to limit the trajectory of our future! Jesus is a Redeemer and theres no mistake so egregious or grief so debilitating that it can catapult us beyond the reach of His mercy and grace. This book is like a literary megaphone that authentically and joyfully bellows how Gods will for our lives is radically better than what far too many of us are willing to settle for.
