Everyone has experiences in their lives that stop them in their tracks and become burdens they carry with them everywhere they go. No one knows this better than Sarah Jakes Roberts. Pregnant at fourteen, married by nineteen, divorced by twenty-two, and all while under the intense spotlight of being Bishop T.D. Jakes's daughter, Sarah knows what it is to feel buried by failure and aching pain. But when her journey brought her to faith's fork in the road, Sarah found she had to choose between staying in the comfort of the pain she knew or daring to make new wounds and move forward. Now Sarah shares the numerous life lessons she's learned along the way with other women also struggling to believe they're not disqualified by their pain and past mistakes. She delves into topics such as allowing the past to empower the present, choosing to step forward while still being afraid, facing struggles surrounded by community, finding intimacy with God outside preconceived notions of what it has to look like, and learning to focus on others. With deeply personal stories of her own, Sarah helps readers find their way to the right perspective and the confidence to walk toward the best God has for them. - Publisher. 520 $a "Discover how to let your past empower your present, let go of shame, shed insecurities, find intimacy, and lead others to a better life"--Inside jacket. 650 0 $a Risk-taking (Psychology) $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 7 $a RELIGION $x Personal Growth. $x Personal Growth. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a RELIGION $x Spiritual Growth. $x Spiritual Growth. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a RELIGION $x Women's Issues. $x Women's Issues. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Risk-taking (Psychology) $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01098199 650 7 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111489 655 4 $a Nonfiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180918010409.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ABC50D32A11911E88235114097128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
