Thirty-one years ago (August 3, 1981) my life changed so drastically that I thought I’d never recover and never again be the wife and mother that I had always hoped to be. In order for you to know the contents of this book, I’ll cut right to the chase. I had a complete mental and emotional breakdown, the results of which left me with some horrible, almost unbearable effects that I could never ever have handled on my own. Prior to writing this book, I don’t think I’ve ever written anything except a few poems in high school (and they certainly were not very great). I’ve been told over the years that I should write a book about my life, but the main reason I’m writing this is because I feel that the Lord told me to do this. Therefore, I feel that I am obeying Him, and I found out “There’s Always Hope”.

How would your life be different if you truly believed you're loved just as you are?" Holley Gerth poses this compelling question at the start of her latest book. As someone who has connected with thousands of women, Holley has seen the dangers of becoming trapped by impossible standards of beauty, achievement, and even spirituality. We believe if only we were perfect we could beat our depression, banish anxiety, and develop the relationships we long for most. Holley shares how God wants to set the hearts of women free by revealing the lies we believe and the scandalous grace and acceptance offered to us instead. When we know we're truly loved, the response is to love in return--and that changes everything. Bestselling author and every woman's best friend, Holley Gerth helps women lay down their unrealistic expectations so they can embrace who God created them to be, pursue his purpose for their lives, and offer the love they've been freely given.
