For many Christian authors, the dream of writing a book is born out of a troubled past. Maybe you’ve overcome addiction, experienced tragedy, or were bullied and harassed as a kid. Whatever the case may be, your story is worth sharing with the world.

Verna Mayers-Fakunle is a living, breathing example of what it’s like to overcome. Despite decades of self-doubt, Verna learned to decide her past would not define her; instead, she uses it as motivation to achieve even greater things for God and for the world. Let Verna’s story remind you that God has a plan for your life to reach others – so dream big, and allow Him to lead you where He desires. You never know what might happen, or the impact you can make, when you put your trust in Him.
