For the past year, I have been working relentlessly on this project and am confident that it will be a blessing to you and many others. As part of the Beauty Marked community, I want to personally thank you for encouraging me throughout this process with your comments and feedback on the blog posts I've shared. I can't say thank you enough, and believe that Break Every Chain truly is my best work to date.

In 2010, I had a life-changing vision of high school students walking down their hallway bound in heavy chains. In my heart, I knew this was a representation of the invisible weights that many young people in this generation carry every day. What began as a vision has become a tangible book, fueled by a burning desire to share the Gospel message of freedom and true identity to young women around the world. I am so thankful for this opportunity and know that it will be worth every sacrifice, sleepless night and tear that it took to push this baby out.

Break Every Chain will be released January 1st, 2013 in all major retailers and available in e-book format on iBooks, Nook and Kindle. It is currently available for pre-order here, as well as barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com.

Thank you, Lord for setting me free and revealing to me my true identity in you. I pray that young women around the world will break free from their chains and receive who they are and everything you've called them to be.
