Going through childhood with bullying and daily fights up and down 14th Parkwood to Swan Street, author Renee R. White feels that she entered hardship very early in life. Throughout her personal memoir, she recounts how sexual struggles and abuse led to her facing many unplanned pregnancies as a teenager and a young woman. By the time she was 21, White had gone through five abortions and one birth. Through a series of calls from what White believes could only be the voice of God, she made her way through re-baptism, an altar counselor class, a discipleship program, and finally moved into preaching her story from the pulpit at a women's conference in Northeast DC. From Creepin 2 Preachin will resonate with teen girls and young women who face similar struggles with sexual abuse, domestic violence, bullying, abortion, and sexual addiction. Offering a guiding ray of hope to those young women who might feel lost and alone, From Creepin 2 Preachin reminds readers that God can call anyone out of darkness to serve His mission. Author Renee R. White shares her story with readers to show how God can make the broken pieces of a life come together into a beautiful picture.
