From The Ashes

This book takes you on a journey with Mary as she shows you step by step, how God came to her and personally taught her things spiritual leaders had never shown her. Mary walks you through her journey of how God showed her what is really happening to pull us off track. That spiritual warfare is real. How to step out of depression and anxiety, to find the true identity that God gave her. God helped her to step out of the Victim mindset and into the Victorious Conqueror. This book will help you understand what is really happening when you feel drawn to things that you know are not good for you and people who you can't seem to get away from but you know are so bad for you. Mary explains about soul ties and how God can break them. About how most religious people confused her and made her feel far from God and not worthy but God showed her differently. She learned that forgiveness breaks chains, and she gained the ability to be a true friend while learning the way to have a peaceful relationship with people. Mary is very raw and real in this book even when people told her that she was going to offend some readers with what her life had really been like and all the things she did on the way when her spirit was nearly broken. Knowing that the truth of how she learned all this would be needed, she decided to go with her gut and stay authentic because the world is tired of fakes. Mary is a realist who loves Jesus and is tired of him being misrepresented by people who want to use his name in vain. Here it is.... Her Raw Reality that brought her Beauty from Ashes. Mary (the author) is also an artist and will have people write all of their insecurities on a piece of paper. Things they were told by cruel people in their lives. 'I am fat.' 'I am ugly.' 'I'm a bad mother/father.' 'I'll never be loved by anyone.' Etcetera. Mary prays for them, then they hold that piece of paper up with all of those lies and insecurities written down and they light it on fire. Everyone present gets to watch it burn and they drop it into a metal pot. Then they tell everyone there, the truth about what they feel like God is telling them about themselves. Later, with those ashes, Mary mixes them with paint and makes a painting with all different colors. She calls the paintings, "Beauty from Ashes." This book cover for "From The Ashes" is one of those paintings.
