Story
Rock princess Lacey Sturm wants to share her journey from heartbreak to wholeness with young women. In The Mystery, Sturm helps listeners understand that any loving relationship begins with knowing your own identity in Christ. And yet, so many people have learned to define love through their own dysfunctional family, unhealthy relationships, the romances and wrecked relationships of mainstream pop culture, or, sadly, through pornography. Is it any wonder so many people end up brokenhearted, divorced, abused, abusive, or even suicidal?

Story
The day Lacey Sturm planned to kill herself was the day her grandmother forced her to go to church, a place Lacey thought was filled with hypocrites, fakers, and simpletons. The screaming match she had with her grandmother was the reason she went to church. What she found there was the reason she is alive today. With raw vulnerability, this hard-rock princess tells her own story of physical abuse, drug use, suicide attempts, and her ultimate salvation.

If you are longing to experience God more than the shame or hurts of your past, the pressures of your present, or the fear of your future, Brave Surrender offers a soul-healing path forward. As Kim learned in her own life, the first step - and the bravest step - is letting go.

Story
What does the Bible mean when it says we are to fear God? Is it difficult for you to reconcile the two sides of God’s nature - His wrath and His love? Mattie Montgomery teaches that a right pursuit of the fear, fire, and fullness of God can lead you into the knowledge of a side of God you may never have imagined before. He notes that the fear of God does not mean that we should be afraid of God; but rather, that we should be afraid to be against Him.

Story
Life is fragile. But hope in Christ lasts forever. We tend to go about our day to day routines imagining this earthly existence of ours will just go on and on. But it won’t. Our stay on earth is really very brief. And when a loved one unexpectedly steps out of this life into eternity, it shakes us to the core. We ask ourselves: Is heaven real? Will I see him–will I see her–again? Will we be together again? How can I know for sure?

"Perhaps God isn't giving me the plan because He wants to be the plan." This was the aha moment for Mike Donehey after years of wrestling with his obsession to know God's specific plans for his life. He came to the realization that waiting for absolute certainty from God before making decisions may seem uberspiritual, but it can lead to a life of intense stress, paralyzing fear, and crushing regret - just the opposite of the freedom granted to those living a Christ-filled life.

For the first time, Caitlin also opens up about her own secret "flaw" that rocked her sense of self-worth for the better part of two decades, and her private battle to believe our scars are not sources of shame but proof of courage and prompts toward purpose.

In her late 30's, Rosaria encountered something that turned her world upside down - the idea that Christianity, a religion she had regarded as problematic, might be right about who God was. That idea seemed to fly in the face of the people and causes that she most loved. What follows is a story of what she describes as a train wreck at the hand of the supernatural. These are her secret thoughts about those events, written as only a reflective English professor could.

Story
God is not looking for the next Billy Graham or Mother Theresa. He is not in heaven wringing his hands hoping that someone will step to the forefront and write a book like C. S. Lewis. The world is not waiting on the next great conference speaker, or some edgy church planter to start a trendy new community of faith. The world is waiting for you!
Publisher's Summary
It's easy to go through days, weeks, even years on autopilot, moving from one activity to another, rarely taking the time to consider what it's all for anyway. Why did God make us? What does he want us to do with the time he has given us? And how can we find out?
In her best-selling story-driven style, Christian rocker Lacey Sturm shares with listeners the beautiful struggle of learning what one's unique gifts are and pursuing them wholeheartedly. She helps them see each day as a gift from God, find balance in their busy lives, and discover the joy of giving God's gifts back to him by using them to bring him glory.
Young people especially will love this openhanded and openhearted take on what to do with their lives, as will those who feel like they've been coasting or heading down the wrong path.

Lacey is a Learner
It’s obvious to me that Lacey has opened herself to life experiences and God and that she is also a person who is willing to examine herself and learn from her experiences and listen to God leading her. As someone myself who is beginning my adult life living away from my parents and having more of my own freedom and decisions to create my own experiences and honor God as my own unique individual, I value her insights.

A honest account of vulnerability that gently unravels the tightly wound soul. It is the deepest catharsis I have experienced in a long time. Lacey’s journal entries are like post-modern psalms That will deepen your capacity of awareness of the creator in everything, in every encounter.

Buy this book!!
I’ve been a fan of Lacey, and Flyleaf for years. I remember hearing, “All Around Me” for the first time - musical goosebumps going up and down my body. I was in awe, and this book made me in awe, once again. Knowing that these journals, and hardships helped inspire these songs, is just amazing. Seeing how much God used Lacey, just gives me so much hope. Anyone struggling with depression, suicide or just being luke warm will really appreciate this book - even more. Such a great read, and I left feeling so inspired!!

Thank you Lacey for the new book! I waited expectantly for the new book and I am not disappointed. I will probably even buy the hardcopy and read it again. I listened to the book every morning while walking to the bus and your words helped me on focusing on what the truth is and helped me to focus on not giving up.
