About the Book Unwanted No More

Book: Unwanted No More

Author: BJ Garrett

Genre: Memoir

Release Date: December 1, 2019

I can still feel the emptiness in my heart. So many memories of ugly…

As a preteen shattered by a sexually abusive father and an absent mother, B. J. Garrett is left unprotected, unloved, and unwanted by the people who should have loved her most. Instead, BJ finds herself wanted by the wrong people for the worst reasons.

Her search for self-worth leads to sexual promiscuity and unplanned pregnancies, which only further warps her view of love, leaving a trail of broken relationships. It’s not until losing everything to the blaze of a house fire that the course of BJ’s life takes a turn toward a God whose love is pure. With the shadow of shame lifted by her newfound faith, BJ makes a startling discovery—she’s been wanted all along, and her new love-filled life comes with a call to ministry.

Written with soul-searching vulnerability, this story shows that regardless of what you’ve done or what’s been done to you, there is hope and redemption in a relationship with Jesus. Unwanted No More reminds you that no matter how ugly your past, you can experience unconditional, beautiful love and a life of purpose.

My Thoughts on Unwanted No More:

This book has some hard content.  Our author did not have an easy life nor an early life that would lead her to Christ.  But through hardship and adversity, she finally realizes that God was there for her all along, just waiting to be made known to her.

Very well written book.  Reads quickly though there are definitely some parts that are hard to read and make you really feel for the author.  I love her picture below that shows how joyful and hilarious she really is!  She’s overcome so much and I think she’d be a great motivational speaker.

This is a book that I can highly recommend.  While it might not be the easiest book to read in certain spots it is definitely a wonderfully written book with a powerful message while sharing about one woman’s journey. 

Imagine yourself a young child.  Who do you trust?  In the world, you call home who is your strength? 

Even as adults if we think truly to ourselves we want to have one person who is a safe house for us.  Not all people have that person.  In fact, lots of children are hurt or neglected by their parents and they grow up not knowing what real love from a parent is like.

Again, I recommend this book and I really enjoyed the style of this author.

More from B.J.

All my life I have battled with feelings of being unwanted and unloved. Somewhere between the insanity of the Jerry Springer show and the emotional outcry of the Oprah show, the unbelievable redemption details of my life are unfolded onto the pages of this book.

Spunky. silly, and sassy are the three words that best describe my personality. I believe the Lord gave me a love for hamburgers to make sure I never return to a life of selling my body to make ends meet. Spending time with my grandkids who are basically perfect is my favorite pastime. I love being Jay’s wife and serving beside him on the mission field. By God’s amazing grace, I have come full circle, receiving complete forgiveness and healing from a childhood full of abuse, teen pregnancy, sexual promiscuity, abortion, and working in the sex industry. If the Lord can use a story like mine, rest assured He will use a story like yours!

If like me, you have ugly in your past, I want to encourage you that no matter what you have done, no matter what has been done to you, there is hope and healing through Jesus Christ.
