"I have questioned how God could ever use someone like me to make a difference
in the world when I have had such a pitiful past.
But God says He will use all things for good.
The problem was that the victim in me was interfering with God's trying to bring the good out of my pain.
I have since learned inspiring courage versus fostering victimization in the lives of others
is what will change our communities, families, and nation for good."

Wounded And Defined
Trading Victim for Victory
In Wounded and Defined: Trading Victim For Victory, Tonya Shellnutt shares her very personal and intimate journey of pain to providence, confusion to clarity, and fear to faith, addressing three major areas to effectively rise above the current state of the world.
