Life throws trials and obstacles at everyone and author Lucy Dickens is no different. In her new book, “Through the Fire: Traveling the Broken Road to Hope and Healing,” Dickens shares her journey, traveling through the pain and trauma of some of life’s most difficult trials: persevering through sexual and verbal abuse, bullying, chronic illness and pain, a marriage torn apart, a terminal diagnosis, and natural disasters.
As Dickens began drafting her book, isolated in her cabin in the Arizona Forest, a forest fire broke out and began ravaging the area surrounding her. She alternated between writing and reading fire updates. After a terrifying night with the wind howling and shaking the windows and the smell of smoke filling the house, she was evacuated with the fire just a half-mile away. She knew then the title of her book: “Through the Fire: Traveling the Broken Road to Hope and Healing.”
Dickens wrote this book for those seeking to become whole again, longing for restoration and clarity, ready to break free and find healing. She hopes, by sharing her story, that readers will take comfort in knowing they are not alone in their struggles, that they can overcome them and that God is always by their side.
“My goal for this book is to reach as many people as possible, bringing hope and healing to the broken, and restoration in marriage,” Dickens said. “My prayer is that they see Jesus’ story, interwoven through my own. In addition, late in the book is a chapter my husband has written. I believe this will be powerful for men and women alike.”
Through Dickens’ book, readers will find a variety of life experiences and trials, each that taught the author something new about the heart and character of God. She hopes that her book will help lead others to the Lord and show them how great God’s love truly is.
