You Lifted My Head

Book excerpt: You Lifted My Head tells of the pain, the devastation, and the lowest depth of depression that the author experienced after separation from her husband and what ensued following her attempt at reconciliation. The author tells of her fall into the sin of adultery during the time of marital turbulence, how she felt un-forgiven and forsaken by God after much confession and repentance, the extent she went to in her search to “find” God, and how God eventually brought her to a place of peace, and full assurance of His forgiveness. The book further reveals the author’s struggle with God concerning divorce, the rest she found in surrendering her will to God, the amazing way in which God revealed His grace to her, and how she learned that it is when life is at its most hopeless that God can be experienced in the most amazing and the most powerful way. The book offers utmost hope to people of like suffering, those who, because of the great agony with which they are living, believe that their suffering is exceedingly, abundantly, and above everyone else’s suffering; that their life is over; that things will NEVER chan≥ that God has forsaken and forgotten them; that He can never forgive them for that horrible sin they have committed; that they cannot bear it for one second longer; that they will die in the process; that they want to commit suicide and end it all; that the situation is hopeless, hopeless, hopeless.
