I'm thrilled to announce that Life, In Spite of Me has officially released. Already, God is doing amazing things through Kristen's story.
During the blog tour, we've heard from bloggers who've shared their own sorrows and triumphs, we've heard from readers who've been touched again and again by Kristen's honesty and willingness to be completely transparent. I am truly grateful for the part God allowed me to play in writing this book. To Him be the Glory.

After her fatal choice... extraordinary hope. Kristen Anderson
thought she had the picture perfect life until strokes of gray dimmed
her outlook on life. Once a happy child, Kristen's world darkened after
three friends and her grandmother died within two years. Still reeling
from these losses, she was raped by a friend she thought she could
trust. She soon spiraled into a depression that didn't seem to have a
bottom. One January night, the seventeen-year-old made a
decision: She no longer wanted to deal with the emotional pain that
smothered her. She lay down on a set of cold railroad tracks and
waited-for a freight train to send her to heaven...and peace. Amazingly,
Kristen survived her suicide attempt... but the 33 freight cars that
ran over her severed her legs. Now she not only had to deal with
depression; she also had to face the physical pain and life without
legs. But Kristen's story didn't end there. After her darkest
days Kristen discovered a real purpose for living. Now, in her
compelling book Life, In Spite of Me, Kristen shares her journey from
despair to hope. Includes letters from Kristen that share
messages she wishes someone would have told her-when she was depressed
and struggling with loss, shame from sexual abuse, and suicidal
thoughts. Read more about it or order it! |

Hi friends!
I have exciting news to share. Below is the list of the 2010 Christy Award
nominees ... and if you look closely The Swiss Courier, co-written with Mike
Yorkey, is included!
As a writer, my #1 goal is to glorify Christ. My #2 goal is to write
books that are both "true-to-life" as possible and a great read.
While I've never made it my goal to win awards, it's a great honor to be on
this list. If you haven't picked up your copy of The Swiss Courier now is a
great time! Also, check out this VIDEO to
find out more of the story.
May God use this story to reach many for HIM!
Sincerely, Tricia Goyer
