From Partying to Praying: My Story, God's Glory Rose Shackelford

FOR TOO MANY YEARS, living in the moment was all thatmattered to me. I existed in a tortuous cycle of alcohol, men, parties, andsexual encounters, trying to fulfill the endless well of loneliness in my soul. But nothing worked-until I hit rock bottom. With obedience in mind, I decided to share my remarkable transformationfrom party girl to a child of God in From Partying to Praying. I speak straightfrom the heart, exploring my out of control lifestyle before and during myyears in the U. S. Air Force, my marriage, and the birth of my first child. Emptiness and depression continued to plague me, and it was only whenI discovered my husband's infidelity that I finally realized what had beenmissing from my life: God. It took an emotional outpouring of grief to cleansemy soul of the turmoil I'd experienced for so long and to feel the power andpeace of the Lord working in my life. From Partying to Praying offers hope and inspiration for those trapped in thecycle of addiction from someone who experienced its horrors first-hand. Drawstrength from my incredible faith, and begin to find healing in the arms ofyour loving Father.
