A Prostitute No Longer Lisa R Pate

In my book A Prostitute No Longer, I delve into the life I experienced growing up, layer by layer, as a girl without a father in a home with unintentionally relaxed boundaries. This, along with my dysfunctional choices, lead to a journey of drug addiction and prostitution. I desire to show the origins of some of the mental and emotional toxins that women and men deal with such as rejection, fear, anger, shame, and guilt. For me, all of this compounded, developed, and manifested into low self-esteem and caused me to make choices that were detrimental and paralyzing to my destiny. But God spoke over my life that He did not cause this but will use this to bring Him glory, out of a life that seemed to be unrepairable. God repaired the unrepairable! God fixed the unfixable! God regulated my mind, and I kneel before Him as I stand before you as a holy woman of God, assured of His covering and confident of His calling.
