Wow! Yes! Tracie Miles shines her flashlight into the dark cave, and she welcomes us to walk back into the light.
Tricia Lott Williford, author of And Life Comes Back and You Can Do This
I know a book is going to be really good when, by chapter 1, Ive started making a mental list of all of the people who need to read it. If I knew you, youd be on the list. Short story: read this book because its more than a book. Its a key that unlocks the door to the life you were made for.
Jennifer Dukes Lee, author of Its All Under Control and The Happiness Dare
When theres a big difference between what you expect in life and what you get in life, disappointment, discouragement, and even despair can overwhelm you. In Love Life Again, Tracie reaches out as a compassionate and candid friend, opening her heart, sharing her own experiences, and offering Christ-centered tools to help you choose new ways to truly love your one-and-only life.

I came so they can have real and eternal life,
more and better life than they ever dreamed of.
John 10:10 ( THE MESSAGE )
Contents
When God laid it on my heart to be a writer fifteen years ago, I remember thinking, But Lord, I dont want to share that. Im afraid to be vulnerable and transparent. Cant I just share the good stuff? Clearly, if youve ready any of my books, you know His answer to that question was no. He called me to be real, and He keeps giving me new experiences to do exactly that through my writingnot only to spread His love but also to help me continue to walk by faith and not sight.
