Book Description
In her compelling life story, My Mess Became My Message, Shalaunda "Shay" Nielsen shares the mess that once was her life in hopes that her story will be the benediction that leads someone to Christ. Once a stripper, lesbian, liar, fornicator, and adulterer, Shay lived a life that screamed "sin." Hearts will drop as readers live through her delivering her stillborn son, witness worldly escapades, and fight demons that continue to haunt her. The same hearts will rejoice as they relive the moments where she dedicates her life to Christ, marries a man who is after God's heart, and gives birth to her daughter. Two very different lives...lived by the same woman through the grace of God. As readers turn the pages they will watch the mess transform into a message. Shalaunda Nielsen, called Shay by those closest to her, is a wife, mother, daughter, visionary, and most importantly a woman of God. By age twenty-one Shay had seen more than most women twice her age, lived a life that paralleled the plot of an urban fiction novel, and sunk to her lowest low. She had compromised everything God intended her to stand for through lesbianism, stripping, and drug use. Yet in the midst of it all Shay felt God tugging at her heart and began to yearn for Him instead of worldly desires. She learned through a series of events that God is no shorter than His Word, and as a result today she is a sold-out Christian on a mission to allow her mess to be a message that will deliver other young women from the jaws of hell.

Turning Your Mess into a Message
Author: Dr. Josef A. Howard
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1452078882
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Dr. Howard has crafted a careful and balanced blend of Bible exposition, theology, real-life illustrations from his vast ministerial experience, and practical applications to those who yearn for their lives to be transformed from a messy situation to a message that honors and glorifies God. Each chapter expounds the miraculous way God used an unlikely individual with a messy life and turned his or her life into a positive message. The woman at the well, Zacchaeus, Jabez, Ruth, the thief on the cross, and Jephthah all faced challenging circumstances. Sin, genetics, the unexpected death of a spouse, rebellion, and poor family heritage placed these Bible characters in the most likely not to succeed category. All had three strikes against them. God, in His infinite mercy and grace, had a plan for each of these lives. He turned their mess into a positive message. Regardless of what mess you find your life to be in, this book gives practical ways of how to get out. Everyone faces trials and difficulties in life. Dr. Howard likens the trials and difficulties in life to potholes. Potholes appear out of nowhere unexpectedly and can be destructive and hurtful and take away our joy and sense of well being. Dr. Howard says, Being a Christian does not mean that we will not be faced with trials and tribulations, which are like potholes in our lives (some are big while others are small). Regardless of how messy your life is or how many potholes are causing you concern, Turning Your Mess into a Message will give you hope and lead you to the Savior, who alone can turn your life around. He did it for the six Bible characters expounded upon in the book and He continues to change and transform messy lives into a message today.

Book Description
These days, there's no better business tool than a book. But most people don't know how to write one-or even where to start. Turns out the best place is the messy middle.Anna David knows this more than anyone. When the New York Times bestselling author of seven books got sober and sold a book about her recovery to the biggest publisher in the world, she thought she'd made it. Then she learned the hard way that trying to make a living by selling books to traditional publishers was a cruel joke-and that accepting the unacceptable was no way to live. The publishing industry was ripe for disrupting. But first David had to make a mess and then learn from it.After years of struggle and self-discovery, she ended up not only mentoring and publishing hundreds of bestselling authors but also thriving personally and professionally. Now she's sharing what she's learned-and showing others how to do the same.In this page-turning and useful memoir-meets-manual, David reveals her personal lows (doing cocaine by herself while contemplating suicide), her career lows (a past-his-prime celebrity hurling a phone at her as she wrote his biography) and how her life today wouldn't be possible without those experiences.With deft humor and unique insight, David demonstrates how much early childhood programming can set us up to repeat our own dysfunctional patterns-until we're ready to shift our behavior. The last quarter of the book is a practical guide so that readers can make their own mess into a message-and memoir.

My Mess
Author: Troy Black

ISBN: 9781500303242

Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
My Mess is all about grace. It's the story of how I was trapped in sin, struggling with pornography, fighting addictions, completely alone, living for myself and not caring who I hurt in the process. And one day I got to the point where I was so lost, out of hope, sunk in depression and emptiness, that I called out to God, looking for just a taste of His acceptance. Instead I was plunged into an ocean of grace that I didn't think was possible. If you feel trapped and you feel like it's been forever since you've had any hope: Hope in Jesus Christ. Romans 10:11 says, "For the Scripture says, 'WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.' " Jesus is the only One who will never let you down, and He proved it to you by being the only one who has ever lived a perfect life, and He even went so far as to die for you so that you would be set free in Him. It's time to be set free. It's time to overcome sin through the power of God. It's time to overcome emptiness and loneliness through the presence of Jesus. And it's time to seek God and find the purpose that He put you here to accomplish. You are on this earth for a reason, and when you know what that reason is, you cannot help but do great things in the kingdom of God. My Mess resembles Inspirational Christian Books, Christian testimony books, books about the Holy Spirit, books about Seeking God, and books on Spiritual Growth. It covers topics such as the Holy Spirit, seeking God, pursuing God, Spiritual growth, and living the Christian life. For more material by Troy Black visit www.InspireChristianBooks.com
