In The Courage to Heal, Tracy Strawberry writes about the hard things people go through, including guilt, shame, regret, consequences of the past, and feelings of being trapped in a cycle of failure, dysfunction, or defeat. Tracy does so with empathy, encouragement, and grace. At the same time, she demonstrates the saving, healing, and redeeming power of God through her own life story, the power of the Holy Spirit, practical application, and godly principles. No matter what area of life you struggle with, you will find true encouragement and a clear pathway forward.

The Courage to Heal, my wife, Tracy, brings you proven principles for overcoming your past, reinventing yourself, moving forward, and become the very best "you" the Lord created you to be. Whether you are stuck in life or dealing with emotional pain, negative habits, difficult relationships, or addictions, you can live in the fullness of Gods purpose for your life as you eliminate the obstacles that are hindering you from moving forward. Healing that leads to lasting change comes by making difficult but positive choices, trusting in God, taking practical steps, staying the course, and fighting for the freedom you deserve! We can do this only by Gods transforming power in our lives and a determination to change the patterns that have led to frustration and pain, and, for some, despair and defeat. Tracy has bravely gone through this process and discovered powerful steps for rebuilding your life from the ground up and then flourishing in wholeness of spirit, mind, and body. Her faith and determination to turn her life around have always been a great inspiration to me and helped me to follow the same path to victory. I love her deeply, and I am so proud that she did not allow her pain, addictions, and dysfunctional loving and living to define her but instead recognized they were obstacles she was in the process of overcoming through a close relationship with God, a renewed outlook, and strong positive choices. In this book, as in her life, her encouragement is contagious and her power-change principles offer fresh hope, a new start, and lasting change! I know her book will give you
The Courage to Heal.

The Courage to Heal, Tracy Strawberry is very transparent about her difficult life as well as her deep struggle to surrender her life to Jesus Christ. She shares openly about how her hurts and rebellion created a damaging, self-destructive belief system about God through her own opinions, worldly desires, and past experiences. She fought God with every fiber of her being until desperation and losing custody of her three sons brought her to her knees and led her to find the courage to heal. She opened her heart to dare to believeand receivethe purity and power of Gods truth and love, which completely healed and transformed her into the mighty woman of God she is today.
