Letting God Redeem Your Past, Identity, and Purpose
We all carry storiesโstories of shame, regret, and pain that whisper lies about who we are. But what if God wants to take those broken chapters and rewrite them into a story of redemption?
Rewriting Your Genesis is a comprehensive three-volume transformation journey that shows you how to let God redeem your past, restore your identity in Christ, and reclaim the purpose He's always had for you.
The Complete Journey:
๐ Volume 1: Your Past (10 chapters) - Lay the foundation
๐ Volume 2: Your Identity (11 chapters) - Experience deep healing
๐ Volume 3: Your Purpose (10 chapters) - Live with mission
Total: 31 chapters of biblical teaching, practical application, and real transformation
Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and practical weekly exercises, you'll discover that shame loses its power when God holds the pen.
