Host Tanya interviews author and former teacher/biblical counselor Dejah Edwards, who shares how she transitioned from education to writing faith-based books as her ministry to bring hope and healing. Dejah discusses her background, including surviving two abusive marriages, her daughter’s traumatic medical ordeal, and a kidnapping attempt, and explains how these experiences shaped her nonfiction titles (including Honor Yourself: You’re Highly Favored and Loved, Mama I Want to Be Like You, and God’s Lent Child) and fiction (Shattered Innocence: A Journey to Restoration, The Christmas Welcome Sign, and her newest, Heartbreak Is Not My Home). They talk about forgiveness, praying for prodigals, restoring trafficking victims, the value of reading classics and creativity in teaching writing, and where to buy her books via Amazon or directly through her website and email.
