Courage To Rise Above!

Hello :)

My name is Jennifer Sergeant.
I have my first book being published right now, and would like to share some pieces of it with you here. If you or a friend or family member has ever struggled with a diagnosis of a mental illness, then this book is for you!

"Courage To Rise Above" is a Biblical, self-help and motivational guide to living with a mental illness. While living in San Diego, CA after a devastating divorce I was diagnosed with BiPolar/Manic Depression. Millions of people suffer from all forms of mental health issues, and are labeled and forced to live in hiding these real issues from friends and family.

I wrote this book to encourage others to know that God has a plan and a purpose for all of us.
The Bible is filled with great examples of how we can live our lives in victory and overcome barriers in our daily lives. You or your loved one does not need to live with stigma and shame in their life. Through Jesus Christ, you can be an OVERCOMER.

Isaiah 54:10 says, "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant or peace be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you," delcares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a future and a hope!"

So please stop back and share your thoughts and prayer requests with me, and watch the Holy Spirit move and change you through God's word and truths for your life!!

God bless and keep you in perfect peace. :)
