There are 9 stories in this book. 9 stories of profoundly brave women who have done some hard work to look into their past, embrace grace and receive healing. While my story might be different from these 9 women, some of my thoughts and feelings are the same. These 9 stories, although with different details and scenarios, are every woman’s story. Yours and mine.
I am so grateful to have been chosen to be on the launch team for this incredible book, Surprised By the Healer, by Dr. Juli Slattery and Linda Dillow. To have a preview of what you are about to be able to experience has been a great gift.
Now I want to share that gift. 5 of them!
You have probably never heard or read stories of sexual brokenness told with such honesty, depth and encouragement. Surprised By the Healer is made up of real stories from real women who have experience real pain and found real healing. Maybe a story similar to yours and very likely a story similar to someone you know.
You’ll notice in the giveaway rules (below) that I’m asking you to connect with Authentic Intimacy via their Facebook page. I would love to have you stay connected with us at EPFH as well as with the amazing crew at AI who wrote and are launching this book. AI is all about ministering to women who have been broken sexually or need encouragement in the intimate relationship of marriage. I hope you’ll let the wonderful AI team walk beside you in your journey.
Whether you win a copy or order a copy (or three) you’ll read healing words such as these:
Surprised By the Healer officially launches tomorrow, February 2nd. I hope you’ll enter this giveaway but I also hope you’ll order several copies to give to friends. This, after all, is every woman’s story. We all need the Healer. I’m confident that this book is going to bring a powerful healing to so many women.

And just like that, in a couple of clicks, you’re entered! Nothing to sign up for or tag anyone in. I’m going to take your word that you followed the rules so please be honest. I get that you can unlike either of these pages at any time but at least you’ll know they exist and that’s important to me.

I would say that I can’t think of a better way to start February off but I actually had our first child today, 25 years ago, so that totally trumps a book launch or giveaway or anything! But for you, I can’t think of a better way to start off your February!!
Consider this your invitation to be Surprised By the Healer.
