Broken BUT NOT Forsaken: God’s Masterpiece
My inspiration to write the book “Broken BUT NOT Forsaken: God’s Masterpiece” likely stems from a deeply personal journey of overcoming adversity and finding strength in my faith.

Through my own experiences and the guidance of my faith, I’ve discovered that despite life’s challenges, nobody is ever truly forsaken, and everyone has the potential to be transformed into a masterpiece in the eyes of God. My book is a testament to this message of hope and resilience, offering practical advice, personal anecdotes, and spiritual insights to readers who may be struggling with their own trials. By sharing my journey and the encountered along the way, I aim to inspire and encourage individuals to embrace their brokenness as part of their journey towards becoming the masterpiece they were created to be.
