About the Author
Have you heard that "No weapon formed against us shall prosper"
My testimony, as read in this book, is living proof. God's power turned my once destructive life of addictions, anger, depression, guilt and shame into a wonderful message of hope. I am living proof that "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature"

Hello. My name is Deanna and I am a believer who has struggled with many addictions in my life. For nine years I was a slave to chemical dependency. Throughout my teen years and into adulthood I greatly abused alcohol and marijuana. I was addicted to nicotine, caffeine, sex, relationships, and shopping. I was trapped by the chains of character defects that I had picked up as a child of this world.
As life and this world began to pile burden after burden onto me, I lost any desire to live whatsoever. The pains of rape, molest, divorce, abuse and abandonment were more than I could handle. In fact, I even tried to take my life once. Since that didn't work, I set out on a path of self destruction. My purpose - to die so that I could face God to ask Him a one-word question: Why? Why would He allow such things to happen to me? Why was this world He created so filled with rage, destruction, grief and cruelty? Why did I have to stay in it?
Then, just over ten years ago, I set out on a journey that would change all that.
