Book details
Overview
Living a life sold out to God's given purpose can be hard to do when we are tethered to past traumas, generational curses, and the constant stress of society's pressure to have it all together. However, we can use the pain of our past to live out God's promises—if only we knew how to see past the hurt. FORMED 40 is a finished, 10,615-word, self-help book that empowers people to reframe their trauma through intentional direction and deep reflection.
Written in the genre of Christian Self-Help, and primarily for the 40+ year old female reader, FORMED 40 seeks to teach readers how to reflect, reclaim, and reframe their past traumas to retell their story with a restored perspective—a 2.0 version. Far too many people are struggling with exhaustion, shame, disappointment, and brokenness. FORMED 40 takes the reader through the journey of self reflection and understanding of how their past has formed them to act on God's provision for restoration and redemption of all things.
FORMED 40 is rooted in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." It seeks to encourage those who truly want to change the narrative of their story. Transformative healing is the deepest and hardest work a person will ever do, which is why they need a guide to help them do it. FORMED 40 walks the reader step-by-step on how to surrender, receive, and to hurt, feel, and heal.
FORMED 40 allows readers to make a life-altering choice of choosing to heal. It acts as a mirror to reflect on the reader's past in addition to their present. Readers are encouraged to seek their root cause of emotional pain, trauma, and turmoil to break patterns and reclaim their story. This book challenges readers to believe "if a thing is not FOR ME, God would not have allowed it to FORM me."
