My Thoughts on She Writes for Him:

First things first, I love this cover.  It’s gorgeous and creative and definitely reached out to me.  I would have picked up the book to examine and read solely based on the cover. 

This book is full of stories of resilient faith.  Faith that overcomes all the worst things we can think of.  Some hard topics that get told about in this compilation of stories are abortion, shame, betrayal, depression, anxiety, and loss.  These are hard for people to walk through, but also hard for some people to read about and can be triggers.  I did want to mention them. 

That being said, this is an amazing book that shares first hand stories from women who have been brave and came forth to tell their stories.  They not only dealt with these things but they made their way through them with their faith intact if not even stronger from the ordeal. 

Great book that I do recommend.  I can’t wait to see what comes next as I think this is going to become a series. 

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received through Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Athena

In May 2019, while driving home from the Northwest Christian Writers Renewal with the sun out and the mountain in view, God gave me a vision of a movement. He gave me the name “She Writes for Him,” and I knew it would start as a book compilation, then a podcast, and finally a conference.

Here we are a year later, and She Writes for Him: Stories of Resilient Faith launched on May 12, 2020. Featuring Carol Kent, Tammy Trent, and Dr. Saundra Dalton Smith, 27 brave women share their hard stories of abortion, depression and anxiety, betrayal, loss, and shame.

The second edition is already taking submissions, and best-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs leads the lineup of contributors sharing on suffering, cancer, mental health, addictions, and abuse for She Writes for Him: Stories of Living Hope.

My hope in this book series is to address topics that have long been a struggle for the church to be the safe place it needs to be for those still hurting from wounds of the past. Those of us who love the Lord but have trauma in our pasts and are still on our healing journey need to be encouraged by others who have walked in our shoes. Perhaps we haven’t even started our healing journey yet, convinced we are the only one struggling the way we do or are too ashamed to admit our failures of the past. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, this compilation of brave women will encourage you to process your pain and experience the redemption in your areas of struggle.
