Book excerpt: Your voice is the uninhibited sound of who and Whose you are. You belong to the Father. Creation is yearning on tiptoe for the sound of sons and daughters to erupt on the earth (Romans 8:19). In The War on Your Voice, Jenn Stockman addresses how shame, fear, abuse and so much more act as lids to silence your voice. *Break through every lid from a deep intimacy with the Father. *Discover the inexhaustible beauty of Jesus and all He won in the only story where your voice has the leading role, your story. "Hiding in the pages of The War On Your Voice is a personal tour guide. Be prepared to find riches and glory beyond your wildest imagination that God is so thrilled to give you as you follow the guidance of a masterful writer." Danny Silk/ Senior Leader Teams, Bethel Redding & Jesus Culture Sacramento "I was moved to tears not just by Jenn's writing but by the Weighty Presence that accompanies her words. The War On Your Voice is not just another book on freedom, it is an impartation." Wendy Backlund/ Author of Victorious Emotions "The War On Your Voice is a must read for anyone desiring to personally experience the exhilaration of a life fully lived!" Leif Hetland/ President of Global Missions Awareness Jenn Stockman lives near Atlanta, Georgia with her husband Justin and their four daughters Kylie, Ava, Arabelle and Liberty. She teaches regularly at Bethel Atlanta and is on staff as the First Year Director of Bethel Atlanta School of Supernatural Ministry. INTRODUCTION I wrote this book out on my back porch during the early summer mornings. It was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. I laughed. I cried. I shook. I felt undone and intoxicated by the nearness of Jesus as I typed and typed. I told the whole story like a drunk person who's lost every sense of self-awareness and self-restraint. I held nothing back, without a care. I read this great quote in the process, "To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard." I forgot about having it heard and wrote for Him and in Him. I fell in love with the process. The writing became my most intimate worship. I wrote for Him and now I give it to you. I believe in your voice. Not just the ability to speak words from your mouth, but the sound of who and Whose you are through the whole of your story. I see an army of sons and daughters arising in their authority and bending down low enough in their humility to whisper in the ear of a hurting generation about a relentless, eternal Hope. Jesus loves to live with dirt on His knees and who can resist wanting to be with Him where He is. Humility is telling the real story - nothing more, nothing less. Shame is terrified that we would live loud the beauty of Christ within us without restraint, naked and unashamed. Every morning when you wake up, your enemy is tormented by the sound of who you are. He's in the corner holding his breath with anxiety, knowing today could be the day you live the truth of Whom you belong to. I pray your life gives him a panic attack as you open wide the door to feast with King Jesus, having nothing to hide through the whole of your story. With all my love, Jenn
