Taking off the Mask

Publisher Marketing: "S. L. Bowers is transparent in this heartfelt semi-autobiographical" "chronicle of her life. She takes us on her journey as an innocent, naive," "young Christian girl to dipping her toe into an untapped secular world" "as a young adult and finally taking the true plunge of faith." "In this narrative, we see her learning, discovering, sailing, and stumbling her way through in this new world. We follow her as she copes with life's challenges and grapples with the common insecurities many young women are plagued with in today's society. She explores complicated subjects of career plans, dating, faith, and lessons she has learned through her exploration. We struggle with her through her spiritual battle between the lure of the secular world and the God that she has gradually started to know and trust." "Through her testimony, we learn that embracing truth is acknowledging who you are and whose you are in Christ. We are taught to acknowledge our past . . . accept it, embrace it, break up with it, and then leave it in God's hands." "From her humble beginnings, we witness her shift into a wise, bold, and empowered woman of God. You will be encouraged as you journey with her as she steps out of the driver's seat and lets God take the wheel in her life." "This moving account challenges us to reflect on the past, live in the present, and look forward to the future. It prompts the question, "What would happen if I let God have control?""
