Basically from the time she turned 14, Denise went off the deep end, as many teenagers do. She was raised in church, but rebellion somehow became her goal in life at that age. She rebelled in almost every way possible!

Even though she made decisions to change her life as an adult, the guilt that she carried from those crazy years stayed with her. She could not shake it and could not live with it. She had heard from many preachers that she was forgiven, but did not feel it; did not believe it. She did not believe it, because she also heard from many preachers that she was a sinner...was going to hell...God was out to get her...

Denise did not have a good marriage and could not find her way out of it. (Not advertising divorce, advertising the option of letting God choose your spouse to begin with.) She had made bad decisions, and was living with the results. She had fallen and could not get up! Denise was depressed, and on the verge of suicide.

In her late thirties, God simply HEALED her. He spoke, lifted the guilt from her shoulders and began the process of redemption. She was not attending church at the time and did not pray to Him at all really. He just stepped in when she was at her lowest point and HEALED her.

Denise has learned that God's children are not supposed to carry their guilt, and that guilt is a debilitating disease. She discovered that Jesus was a lot nicer than some preachers make Him out to be!

The Life Cycle tells how He taught her those lessons. Denise is convinced that healing is for all of God's children and her goal in life now, is to share that good news with others.
