Book excerpt: Isn't it encouraging when you hear someone share an experience they have gotten through? It can be discouraging though when no one seems to share similar experiences as you. It can make you feel alone and even think something is wrong with you. Stephanie felt that way about her salvation story and other parts of her life. She wants to give you hope that you are not alone and encourage you. If she could get through abuse, self-hate, grief, relationships, ministry, and more on her journey of life and faith, then you can get through anything life throws at you too.
