Coming Soon to a Bookstore Near You...
Gwen's very first book, Broken Into Beautiful, will be hitting the shelves in 6 short weeks!! Here's a sneak peek at the description on the back of the book:
God delights to transform lives…including your own.
If you're like most women, you have things in your past you'd like to forget. The result? Guilt. Pain. Shame. You feel unworthy to move on, to serve God, to be free, and to know peace. While the enemy loves to shackle you with accusations, the Lord loves to extend grace and forgiveness.
In Broken into Beautiful, singer and songwriter Gwen Smith invites you to hear the stories of women with shattered dreams, shameful secrets, and damaged souls…and of the loving heavenly Father who makes them beautiful again.
He can restore your brokenness too. Experience how the unconditional love of Jesus can change your life and then stand back and watch the wonder of grace at work. He is willing to eternally forgive and forget and to transform your life into something beautiful.
If you are interested in pre-ordering a copy, check back next week.
The 700 Club
Many of you have worshiped with me and know my songs, yet don't the story of how they came to be. You've heard me talk about brokenness and forgiveness, but don't know details about when I was broken and needed forgiveness the most. I humbly submit to you that I am a woman who loves Him much because I am a woman who has been forgiven of much. While I would never glory in past mistakes, God, in His mercy, has used these failures to give Him glory. Please tune in to the 700 Club on Monday, May 12th, as they are featuring my testimony.
