Familiar Stranger

Book excerpt: After surviving a violent sexual assault, author Teena Elrod thought the worst was over. She soon found out it was only the beginning of a nightmare that would control her life for years. The memories and flashbacks would leave her paralyzed in fear. Doors always had to be locked and curtains closed. Something as simple as a camping trip with her family would prove impossible because of safety issues. It was only through the belief and faith in the healing power of the God who created her that this woman was delivered from the fear and from the grips of the enemy who had lured her into believing it was her fate to be broken, fearful and unusable. Now after being totally restored and knowing that God has taken what the enemy intended to destroy her with and uses it for His good, she shares her story believing that others will be healed and restored to live out the destiny they were created for.
