I highly recommend this work, written with such a prophetic edge and apostolic insight that reveals the many unseen fortresses keeping people shackled to their past and locked out of their future. You will learn how the enemy systematically uses trauma, pain, rejection, abuse, fear and addictionjust to name a fewas building blocks to create strongholds, fortifications and walls against your future with God. Unshackled is like a wrecking ball in the hands of the reader to break past every invisible barrier. This is a must-read!

We need a voice to equip us in spiritual warfare in these evil days to keep us from the slithering grip of the evil one. Apostle Kathy DeGraw is a voice that cannot and will not be silent, but will arise and bring deliverance, shutting down the twisted world of darkness and terror. Kathy DeGraw has been used and is still being used strategically by God to bring deliverance, healing and strong freedom for Gods people. This is the anointed blueprint I recommend to anyone who is looking to reach another level in Christ Jesus. Surely the authors mind and hands have been inspired by Holy Spirit to write such a masterpiece.
Apostle Luis Lopez Jr., D.Div., author, The Counterfeit Christian ; Luis Lopez Media Ministries International
In Unshackled , Kathy DeGraw brings to light the dark strategies of hell that keep many in bondage. I can literally and spiritually see the chains falling off people as they read it! If you desire to break free of demonic shackles that have limited you for years, this is the book for you.
DeGraw identifies ten of the most potent strongholds of the enemy and supplies the tools to dismantle them. I love the way Kathy shares personal experiences in order to expound on biblical principles.
I am impressed by the oil (anointing) that is on Kathys book. I believe the residue will remain long after the reader has finished it. The word anointing also means effectiveness. DeGraw has effectively communicated concepts that will assist the average believer in gaining an advantage over Satan. This is a must-have for your library. If you dont purchase this book, youll be missing a much-needed weapon to add to your deliverance war chest.
Dr. John Veal, author, Supernaturally Delivered and Supernaturally Prophetic
Recognizing the need for deliverance in other people seems effortless; the true test of spiritual maturity is applying that very same diligence to ourselves. Apostle Kathy DeGraws Unshackled contains instructions on self-deliverance, on recognizing issues that expose the need for deliverance and, most importantly, on how to be liberated by God through His Holy Word. Apostle DeGraws books have always been spiritually concise, thought-provoking, revelatory and Spirit-filled. Spiritual nuggets have been released for all who desire to be set free in heart, mind, body and spirit. I am convinced that whosoever reads this book will be set free from the inside out !

How to Use This Book
Part 1: Finding Freedom through Inner Healing and Deliverance
1. What Is Inner Healing?
Soul wounds affect each of us and leave places in our lives that need healing from hurt, offenses and abuses. Jesus didnt only purchase salvation at the cross. He also purchased our healing and deliverance, empowering us to live in victory and abundant life.
2. Keys of Freedom: Repentance and Forgiveness
Repentance and forgiveness are foundational keys to walking successfully as Christians and breaking spiritual and emotional strongholds in our lives.
Part 2: Getting Unshackled from 10 Strongholds
3. Fear
Fear is tormenting and traumatizing. Behind emotional ailments, we can discover something we fear. Behind every fear is a lie we believe. Meditating on the Scriptures and mind renewal are key elements to help identify the lie, capture the thought, remove fear, and replace it with love and truth.
