A Wounded Daughter's Diary - Exploring God's Grace from the Strip Clubs to the Classroom (Paperback)

I found myself looking back on all the mistakes I made in my life, seeing where I was not properly equipped, where Satan was watching and waiting to sift me like wheat. It started with the seed of pride-a simple answer to a seemingly straightforward question. 'Who do you think is the most spiritual in your graduating class?' But pride comes before a fall, and with a resounding, 'I am ' eighteen-year-old Deanna Wilson set herself high on a pedestal. But she fell...hard. It didn't take long for Satan to wrap his wormy claws around her heart and convince her to pop just one pill, take just one hit, have just one more drink. Deanna soon finds herself pregnant, alone, addicted to cocaine, and dancing as a stripper five nights a week to make enough money to support her lifestyle and her baby-all before the age of twenty-five. A Wounded Daughter's Diary is the story of Deanna Wilson's struggle from the depths of hell on earth to a place of redemption, where she is finally able to see the realization of dreams she'd almost stopped praying for. As Deanna candidly recounts her poor choices and the tragic awareness that comes only in hindsight, her life speaks to all who feel the menacing tug of pride on their own hearts. A Wounded Daughter's Diary speaks about our heavenly father that loves unconditionally; he is the only one who can heal our wounds and bring us out of the darkness into the pure, white light of true forgiveness.
