About

Leave the Baggage Behind--and Uncover the Authentic You

More than 70 percent of adults feel they have a mental health problem. Without a clear path to healing, they've followed the devastating lies and whims of our ever-shifting culture--causing them even more pain.

Offering real hope and a new road map for inner peace, licensed counselor and author Diane Arnold leads you on a redemptive journey of twelve life-changing truths that help you live an emotionally, mentally, and spiritually healthy life. Through uplifting teaching and practical exercises, she provides real-world solutions and a spiritual compass to help you

· discover--and accept--the REAL you
· pursue your purpose
· silence shame
· experience unconditional love and acceptance
· find joy, think soundly, and live with courage

The road to wholeness and lasting healing isn't found in culture's constantly changing map. It's found in the quiet, narrow path of true peace and transformation. 

"A hope-soaked journey of self-discovery . . . shares the freedom God offers and calls each of us to."--DR. TIM CLINTON

"A powerful guide to help you uncover the truth of who you are and find healing and freedom from the lies."--DR. BRIAN SIMMONS, Passion & Fire Ministries

"When Diane placed this book in my hands to read, I was going through a very dark time in my life. I had been betrayed, rejected, and then humiliated. I was in shock and disbelief, brokenhearted and confused. This book gave me tools to refocus my emotions and to learn how to release sadness. It served me as a therapist in the privacy and comfort of my home. Whatever crisis you are going through, this book will help you pick up the broken pieces of your life, put them together, and see who you really are! You are fearfully and wonderfully made in your Creator's image. All the days ordained for you are already written and will be fulfilled. No amount of crisis, rejection, humiliation, or betrayal will change that!"

Florence Nyakundi, founder, Fenny Ministries

"Many of us have had a moment in our lives when we thought, 'I wish I had a therapist to talk to.' 12 Habits for a Sound Mind and Joyful Life is like an invitation into a safe place with your very own therapist. Through deep and thought-provoking questions and powerful stories from her own life and the lives of those she has cared for in her practice, Diane challenges you to start taking needed risks as you let go of isolation, shame, and negative patterns that have held you back."

Wendy Peter, director, Women on the Frontlines Global

"Broken hearts abound in this day and culture, but so does hope. Hope abounds! That's why we need the healing grace of our Lord Jesus to overwhelm every broken place within us and around us. In her excellent book, licensed Christian therapist Diane Arnold takes us on a journey of understanding what it means to be broken and how we can embrace our brokenness to experience the fullness of God's love. God is inviting you to shed the false identities you have adopted and embrace the truth of who you really are."

Dr. Brian Simmons, Passion & Fire Ministries; lead translator of The Passion Translation®

"When I read a book, I want to know if that person has a heart for people and speaks from experience. I know Diane personally, and I've seen her reach out and touch people's hearts in amazing ways. I love how she drives home profound wisdom with activations and questions after each chapter. I highly recommend you join her in this journey as she helps you to see your heart and identity going from broken to healed."
