So weighed down by past experiences that freedom seems virtually impossible? Then this is the book for you.

From the back cover:

"Coming from years of neglect, depression, even suicidal thoughts, Corallie Thornton knows what it is like to feel as if your whole world is collapsing around you. In this book, she shares about her personal struggles as a young believer, and how God was able to set her free from the bondage of her past. The book tackles issues of negativity, the desire to quit, making excuses to get out of God's work, how and why we can forgive, and being able to move on from our past."

Corallie writes in a very chatty conversational style that is very easy to relate to. She talks of her own experiences of depression " and sometimes suicidal thoughts " and how she has found her way out of this situation. But her journey was with God.

Everything we do starts with a decision we make, but we have to make the decision. God will not do it for us. And if we don't do our part then God cannot do his part.

She talks about 3 kinds of birds: the emu, the chicken and the eagle.

The emu is very good at running, but it cannot fly. Many Christians are running away from things, but they are not flying. Jonah was like that. He ran away but then got stuck in a whale.

Chickens are afraid of anything strange and run away. Moses was like that. He ran away and hid for 40 years. But God finally got through to him.

Eagles fly! But how many "chicken Christians' are admiring "Eagle Christians' wishing they could fly too? Do you really think an eagle would be happy in a cage? Are you stuck in a cage? But often it is cage of your own making. The door is open you know.

The book is not a quick fix. There is no such thing. But it can point you in the right direction. Take your time to read it. And then take time to become the woman you were meant to be and the woman you would like to be.
