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.

"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

God is inviting you to shed the false identities you have adopted and embrace the truth of who you really are."
