"Good God in Govan" is a gripping personal memoir and testimony about living with an evil presence and having a father with a mental illness and abusive tendencies. The memoir shares heartbreaking details about abuse, bullying, and struggle. Est Scott's story is filled with pain and trauma, but there is comfort in Jesus. Jesus regularly allowed the author to forget all troubles and fears. Through all the pain, Jesus helped the author not only heal, but find comfort and meaning. This is an unforgettable story of enduring horror, misery, depression, self-hatred, and still finding a way to have hope. This is the author's story about being so close to the edge but maintaining the will to live, find hope and faith. Throughout these traumatic experiences, it was completely natural for the author to have out of body experiences with The Supernatural God. There were visions of The Creator, The God of The Universe, sitting on His Great White throne. But the author also faced demons. These demons were consuming, as the author's father struggled with their presence. This memoir shares a dark story about unimaginable experiences that occur when dealing with demons and mental health challenges. Yet, it reminds us that through all the darkness, love still lives.
About the author
Est Scott is married to her husband Alan and they have two grown up children and a lazy Bichon Frise named Larry. Est Scott is her real name, abbreviated and adopted by her siblings. She has other names depending on what project she is working on and because actors/actresses like to give themselves a fancier name. All is vanity. Other than her personal testimony about The Lord Jesus Christ, God The Father and The Holy Spirit, she has nothing and is nothing. She walked away from primary school with first prize in a national writing competition and was editor for the school magazine in secondary school. She studied Acting and Performance for three years and attended many workshops to enhance a creative skill she already had. Acting/performance has taken her around Scotland in festivals and competitions and although hard work, it has been the most enjoyable time of her life. Est is a creative person and finds nothing worse than hanging around, doing nothing. She does not have a degree, but she has never needed or desired one. She has all the help she needs and lives by this quote, "If God be for me, then who can be against me?"
