Author Description

WENDY BLIGHT was a trial lawyer with three firms before she had children. Now her passion is to help bring hope and healing to women by sharing the life-changing promises found in God's Word. She teaches Bible studies, has been instrumental in women's ministries, and speaks frequently at events, churches, and retreats.

Product Description

One week after Wendy Blight's college graduation, she walked into her apartment to find a masked man holding a knife and waiting for her at the top of the stairs. The man spent an hour physically and sexually assaulting Wendy, leaving her changed forever. After this terrifying experience, she lived for years cocooned in a prison of fear, despair, and hopelessness. Finally, after years of searching and believing she had nowhere else to turn, she fell on her knees before God and poured out her tears, anger, and questions to Him. Wendy's story is one of transformation from trauma to rebirth through the power of the Word of God.

From the back cover of the book

I Hesitated, Then Spoke Three Words I Never Thought I Would Utter—"I Was Raped."

Wendy's is an intensely personal story, compellingly told.

She doesn't dodge the tough questions: Where was God when I was attacked? Can I ever feel safe? Will I ever just be normal again?

As she set out to search for answers, she assumed the Bible was little more than a storybook. But she finally became convinced that this Book speaks the voice of God Himself.

Wendy tells candidly of how she would often replay to herself fears, doubts, anxieties, accusations—and how she learned to capture those thoughts and replace them with assurance, wisdom, encouragement, hope, truth.

Your story is different than Wendy's. But you too can come to know, as she has, that "no circumstance is too difficult, no choice too reprehensible, and no pain too deep for God to redeem."
