Bøker av Carolyn Ricks

The co-pastor of a thriving ministry in Newport News, Virginia, Carolyn Ricks, takes you behind the pulpit, beyond the million-dollar smile and charismatic personality, into the depths of her life. Placed in the foster care system at 18 months and later adopted by two God-fearing parents, Carolyn grew up surrounded by love and with a firm foundation built on faith; as a teen, she found herself struggling with anger, rejection, and feelings of abandonment. Matters of the heart led her down a path of destructive behavior, and she found herself facing teenage pregnancy. With love and compassion, Pastor Carolyn Ricks candidly shares her unhindered journey of how she beat the odds and how, as a mother of five, she became a homeowner by the age of 25, later found her identity in Christ, and then the love of her life, Apostle Jullian Ricks. Life After Adoption is a testament to God's love and how His hands guide our existence. This autobiography is essential reading for anyone who has ever fought to figure out where they belong.
