Secret Place

By Leslie J. Sherrod

Description:

When desperation leads to homicide, can healing, freedom - and faith - be found? A Sunday school teacher turns to the wrong man for help with her family’s secrets. Following a public tragedy that exposes private pain, she is left to wonder if healing and freedom will ever be hers. Real issues, raw characters… riveting twists.

Tackling a topic not usually discussed in churches, Secret Place poignantly reveals the devastation mental illness can cause within families, and offers hope for when all has gone to pieces.

Book Takeaway:

Encouragement, Hope, Awareness, Healing...

Sometimes when facing great difficulty, we retreat into our own plans and desires for escape instead of retreating into the One who promises to be our refuge. But God waits for our return with open arms to embrace us. Even when our prayers are not answered the way we want them to be, Christ can still get the glory; for when we are weak, He is strong.

Why the author wrote this book:

Like Gideon in the Bible – a man from a lowly background who wrestled with fear, doubt, and feelings of inadequacy but still believed God enough to lead a supernatural victory using only weapons of light and noise – this book is offered with the same intention: To bring light and noise to an issue that has sat in darkness and silence for too long.

For the millions who are suffering under a cloud of taboo, and the family and friends who are equally enveloped; for everyone who is trapped in a fog of any nature, this book is for you. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10: 4-5 KJV).
