Derailed: A Destiny After Devastation

Has life ever thrown you a curveball? Have you encountered the death of a loved one, and unexpected job loss, a dire medical diagnosis, or something else that caused your life to run off your carefully selected track? Have you ever been plunged into confusion, depression and despair and suffered in silence? Derailed: A Destiny after Devastation by LaVida Sistrunk is an inspiring book that takes a look at a common experience that is often not discussed in the Christian community for fear of shame or judgment and trying to keep up the appearance of having it all together. Part memoir and part devotional, through its pages, LaVida shares about her experience asking God the hard questions and allowing Him to lift her out of the pit she had fallen into, providing encouraging words and opportunities for self-reflection to readers. If you are struggling after a derailment of your own and want to come back to a place of experiencing life with passion, this book is for you. Come along on the journey with LaVida as she delves deep into God's Word and find your path to hope and feeling whole again. LaVida Sistrunk is a mother, grandmother, pastor, and retired nurse. She is a native of Washington, D.C., and currently resides in Maryland. She thoroughly enjoys the outdoors and anything that gathers her family together.
