Product Description

A seasoned pastor candidly shares her transparent and vulnerable personal story of a journey from shame to freedom in Christ. 

Mary Jane Armstrong internalized the shame from unprocessed abuse and trauma that she experienced in her dysfunctional childhood home. When the lies she believed about herself followed her into her marriage, relationships, and ministry, she was brave enough to examine her past.  

In her search for healing and desire to help others, God began a process in her that developed into the Brave Enough to Risk Change, to Live Free Workbook, a twenty-week curriculum that is helping men and women find the same healing and freedom she experienced. 

People who need healing from unprocessed childhood trauma will find hope in this inspiring story and the courage they need to begin to examine their own unprocessed trauma. Healing and freedom are available through the power of the Spirit of God and a transformational community of people doing the work together. 

When you are brave enough to allow the Spirit to search and clean out the darkness within, your story becomes His story of redemption, power, and transformation. It becomes a story of hope and promises for a future that we cannot humanly comprehend; a story others need to hear before the darkness swallows them up. 

—Mary Armstrong
