In Carolyn's own words

My website is my letter to you. Every woman who has suffered at the hands of another, who wants to trust God, but doesn’t know how, who has suffered nightmares, fear, and heartbreak. Who has been told that she should just forgive but has no idea how. I have been to the dark places of fear and despair. I have suffered with tormenting thoughts, nightmares, and been through some spiritual battles. I share my story with you, to give you hope. I want you to find the healing and wholeness that I have found in Christ.

I want you to know that He loves you, that He is with you, and has a plan to take you out of the mud and mire and set you in a place of joy that you never thought possible.

It is for you that I write every word, so you can find hope and healing in Christ and experience the life that only He can give.

In Karis own words: Author, speaker, and counselor. I am passionate about helping others find the strength to endure, purpose in pain, and hope for tomorrow.
I have a BA in Christian Education and a MA in Counseling. It is my deep desire to help people discover the comfort of God and abundant life even amid life’s hardships. In my new book, Suffering Redeemed: Finding strength to endure, purpose in pain and hope for tomorrow, I share parts of my journey with chronic illness while processing different aspects of suffering, such as: intimacy with God in affliction, living in the already, not yet of God’s kingdom, peaceful expectation of surrender and faith, purposes in suffering, unexpected gifts in our pain, learning to suffer well, and much more.

So many people are living in isolated suffering, thinking they are the only ones. We don’t need to do it alone. That is where I come in. God has fortified my faith in my suffering; others can have that when given the opportunity. As a guest on your show, I intend to build community and a sense of belonging, giving the hardships we all encounter in this world their place but rising above them by the strength and love of God.

Patricia Haley-Glass, is an award winning national bestselling author. (13 books)  She earned the title of “trailblazer” after achieving remarkable success with her debut faith-based novel in 1998. The self-published novel, Nobody’s Perfect, sold nearly 20,000 copies in an industry where selling 5,000 copies at the time was highly regarded. The novel was first of its kind to repeatedly make numerous national best sellers list, including #1 on the Essence list. Her next book, No Regrets, tackled the marital, personal, and financial impact breast cancer has on a family. It was popular among readers and followed Nobody’s Perfect onto the best seller’s list.

With both a B.S. in Industrial Engineering and a B.S. in Management, Science & Engineering degree from Stanford Univ. coupled with an M.B.A. that focused on finance and marketing from the Univ. of Chicago, readers are often surprised to hear that Patricia is writing novels, given her technical and business background.

Patricia’s literary mission is evident in her books: create entertaining, ‘clean’ stories that tackle real issues and affirms the power of forgiveness while leaving readers with a message of hope, no matter what the circumstance

What do you do? and Where do you turn, When a love one takes their life?

Somer Dawn Burgess is the Author of the book, "HALO JUMPING" and the Founder and former ED of True Blue Patriots Inc. 

What does the  Amazon book readers say about "HALO JUMPING"

A memoir about one couples life, unending love, and how PTSD caused from his military service, took a toll on their relationship and ultimately his life. The author writes, " Men and women of United States Armed Forces provide the protection, comfort, and freedoms that have become synonymous with the right to call ourselves American citizens. It's time to give back and take care of our greatest asset, the American soldier." This really opens the eyes to what our service men and women have to endure. May God be with this author and her undying love for her husband and fellow military personnel.

A great reveal of the obstacles a family faces during a deployment. The media only wants us to see smiling faces on our brave soldiers, we never get to see the true grit. I read this book in one setting, something I seldom do. This was a very good read !! Will tell my friends.It's an honor to be able to read your personal journey through the most difficult times one can experience. I love that you share the personable, caring and loving person your husband was so others can see why you were so in love with him too. Your honesty and meticulous documentation efforts are to be respected as well. Thank you again for sharing!

Despite having a good sense of humour, things haven't always been easy. I've faced many battles throughout my life. I've undergone four open heart surgeries and a total of eight heart-related surgeries. I've nearly died on the operating table three times and was repeatedly told that I would never be able to physically excel. After much blood, sweat and tears, I've earned a black belt in Jiu Jitsu. This accomplishment came on the heels of having my descending aortic arch replaced in 2017 after it had ruptured. The fact that I am still alive and breathing after an aortic aneurysm is a miracle from God, and a story I am thankful to share with you today!

Ronald J. McCray,  returns to COFRP to discuss his powerful new song:  Come Holy Spirit, which is available on Spotify and everywhere.

RB is the Senior Volunteer Associate at HGRBS. RB says HGRBS is a 501  (c)(3) non-profit corporation of independent volunteers. And that The  American Private Home is the Best Wonder of the World!

This  is an immensely challenging field because it is non-traditional by  nature as this concerns daily advocating massive changes in our approach  to authorizing contract-related home maintenance and improvement  projects. Yet, in it all, aside from being my life's final calling, it  is an extraordinarily amazing blessing to all affected, including me!  VOLUNTEER!

RB further says, I am always absolutely honored and  proud to be among those of us whom are more concerned with helping to  truly enrich the lives of others beyond what money can buy. Thank you  for being a friend to those in need. http://www.hgrbs-flagship.com/
