Healing Ever After

Ten years into a marriage with her high school sweetheart, author Kristie Addair Guard admitted the “happily ever after” just wasn’t, and it didn’t show any signs of getting there. However hard she tried, the lies she’d been given in childhood held a tight grip. She remained enthralled to those fears—being unwanted, unloved, abandoned, and unimportant. In a last-ditch effort, she walked away in search of healing and happiness on her own, but instead she met Jesus, the one who would deliver her from those fears. She learned that God is always at work in hearts. Through his word, through therapists, through time, and always through his loving, tender, kind presence, he brought Kristie first to her own healing, and then to a marriage that wasn’t what she dreamed of, but one that was exactly the best for her. Healing Ever After shares her story, a story of heartbreak, of healing, and of redemption. It’s a story of Jesus making beauty from ashes—his favorite kind of artistry, and available to you, too, wherever you are.
