He Was Always There by Misty Parenzan
He Was Always There takes you on Misty’s journey through trauma, addiction, and abuse and how against all odds, she was redeemed by God’s grace and restored by his love. We’ve been called to a life of freedom yet are often held back by the pain of our past. Misty has had a lot of “past” to overcome, from rape to prostitution, to a decade of addiction, losing a child, and much more. The healing journey isn’t always easy but it is worth it. Join her as she shares stories of God’s providence throughout her life that will not only inspire you but give you a greater level of faith in your own life.

You may think you’ve made too big a mess of your life. But no mess is too big. His grace is sufficient to redeem you. What once was broken can be restored, through His healing touch and compassion. Give God a chance. Jesus Christ can and will rescue you no matter what. You are worth it.

"I read the entire book on the flight home from Germany!!!! You did a great job! It was an emotional ride reading of so many of the events of your past- some details I knew, others I didn’t, many I was blessed to walk alongside you through!!!! I loved going back and seeing God’s hand in all the missed vasectomy appointments, Saylor’s birth, Sage’s life (so many tears)! And I can remember exactly where I was sitting when you told me you were pregnant with Asher AND adopting Izzy! It made me miss you so very much!!!!"

"He Was Always There is an amazing book about the harsh realities this world has to offer, met with the softening love of a transforming Savior. Misty pours out her heart in each chapter, exposing the cold dark world she once lived in, and ends each chapter with a glimpse into how a mighty God can make you new. This is a book for all people to see that God is always there even when you don't know it or even choose it, and how surrender can change everything!"

"Like Misty, I struggled with my identity for many years, using a variety of things to quiet the storm swirling inside of me. I had no idea I was even hurting because people don't like to talk about pain or trauma or anything that might hint they are human and actually experience something other than joy. Our world, which is laden with filters and facades, needs the vulnerability that Misty so naturally weaves with encouragement and biblical Truth. Having read her story, I am changed. You will be, too."
