Let me introduce you to my good friend, Micah Maddox, who loves the Lord and who desperately desires for women to find hope and strength in him.
Micah and I were introduced about two years ago, soon after she published an amazing book called Anchored In. In this book, she tells the devastating story of her father abandoning her family and church when she was a little girl. And she then writes about how she learned to move past this deep hurt and to live anchored in the only unshakable anchor who is able to sustain our souls through the most difficult times in our life.
I learned so much from this book, especially about taking “every thought captive and making it obedient to Christ.” (2 Cor 2:5) I learned that there are practical, applicable steps that I can take to help me “cast all my cares on the Lord.” (I Peter 5:7) I learned that the Lord gives the invitation to truly move past the incredible hurts we’ve had and to move forward in purpose and peace.
I’d love for you to get to know Micah and her story a little bit better, so this week I did a quick interview with the lovely Micah.

My granddaughter lost her dad to suicide when she was only 2 1/2 months old. She has struggled with some very dark times, and at times, I found it hard to find the right way to minister to her. She too, has felt abandoned by her dad. I would love to get this book to read with her. What a wonderful way to start the healing process anew.

Definitely want to read this. Sounds so inspirational. I have been in dark places for pretty much my whole life now due to family problems and find it hard to actually trust anyone. Anchored In sounds like it would be a great read for me.

This book looks wonderful, and something I can share with each of my five daughters. We’ve been in some very dark places, as I ended up raising them alone. However (!!), through it all, they’ve experienced God for themselves as Jehovah Jireh and all of His might names! God Bless You. 🙂 ~Kathy

This is a book that I would love to read in times of instability.

I’m praying for a specific area of my life to be 💯 surrendered to God. I’ve failed before and I’ve been struggling to get back up and be bold enough to try again. The pain is real and what seems to keep me discouraged. I hope to read AnchoredIn soon!

This looks like an amazing, inspiring book! Working each day to surrender everything to Jesus, even in my darkest, unknown valleys! I want to be fully anchored in Him!

I am very interested in this book! This looks like the perfect resource for my dear friend who is a Christian and is questioning her past, things are coming up now that she had suppressed and is need of a renewal. This looks perfect for her!!
