Publisher's Description
Imagine shedding the burdens of your past and stepping into a future full of freedom, purpose, and joy. Overcoming emotional wounds can feel nearly impossible; however, there is a path forward and starts when you focus on the abundant life God has envisioned for you. Deeply wounded as a child, Mariela Rosario grew up with pain that seemed too profound to heal. She fell into toxic habits of drug use, people-pleasing, and shame. Then, alone in her house in 2015, Mariela experienced a miraculous encounter with God that prompted her to turn away from those destructive patterns. Now she uses her experiences to help inspire other women overcome their past hurts so that they, too, can walk in freedom and joy…because when a woman's God-given purpose is activated, she speaks fire. In She Speaks Fire Mariela draws on the biblical story of the garden of Eden to explore eight lessons about shame that will nourish you and lead you to live authentically, powerfully, and freely. This transformative book will help you see: why the seed of shame might be holding you back from God's call, what it looks like to let go of the need for others' approval, who your real enemy is and why he will never win, and how to bravely own your story so you can help others find freedom too. Feelings of shame can be so overwhelming that it's hard to even know how to start moving forward. She Speaks Fire is an invitation to healing that offers you the encouragement and wisdom you need to take that first step. It's time to come out from under the oppressive weight of shame and into the liberating warmth of God's embrace so you can discover freedom, purpose, and joy.
