Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. From the Streets to the Sanctuary: A Story of Addiction, Survival, and Redemption in Christ is a true, gritty, honest, no-holds-barred memoir of a young girl who learned to survive trauma, silence, abandonment, and abandonment issues under the guise of a suburban childhood. Freedom looked like running away and being on her own. At 18, she was homeless, unwanted, and desperate for acceptance. Addiction-most notably heroin-was her way of life for 22 years. Love, meant survival. Peace, was found in numbness. The streets, shelters, and shadows became all too familiar as Shannon self-destructed, certain that there was no use in fighting addiction, for she was far too worthless to save and people were relieved to be rid of her. It wasn't until addiction took all, that one quiet moment of resolve to live, was enough for Shannon to seek rehab. What came next was not a grand rescue. But rather a sobering reality of what her life had become. Detox was a nightmare. Sobriety was terrifying. Hope wasn't presented in some Hollywood moment, but through grace, mercy, and meeting others in the mess. Faith is not the result of one moment. It takes time. Day by day, week by week, sermon by sermon, whisper by whisper, Shannon began to find God. A God that didn't require her to be 'fixed' to love her. In church pews and quiet prayers, a God, who gave Shannon the kind of peace, that she didn't even know was possible for the first 37 years of her life. What began as a fight to survive, ultimately turned into a surrender to His plan. Today, Shannon, a Deaconess is living proof of God's grace. A God-honoring life filled with purpose, service, and adventure. A true testimony that addiction does not have the final say. Redemption is real. While Shannon's story may not end with a neat, tidy conclusion or tell of overnight healing, it does show that transformation comes, as she traded ashes for beauty and despair for deep, abiding peace. This book is for all those that have ever felt unwanted, broken, or unredeemable. It is a story for every addict out there. A testimony that there is no past too dark, no addiction too deep, and no life too far gone for God's grace to reach. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
