Dangerous Mistrust: From the Death of Faith to the Resurrection of Destiny

Ditch the Pretense and Live Authentically

Trauma tells us that we have no value; we are unworthy, not good enough, and we will never measure up. Embracing these deceptions, we develop dangerous mistrust and mindsets that promote untruths about who we really are and who God is.

Author Tracci Johnson knows this all too well. For many years, this celebrity stylist struggled with the effects of a toxic relationship with her father that shaped her thoughts and thwarted her perspective of self and God. Tracci had it all. She glamorized the stars and lived among the famous-but in private, hers was a life of despair. The façade of success had obscured her true happiness.

How did she get the better of insecurities, fear, divorce, and heartbreak? How did she forgive and rid herself of bitterness? How did she dig deep and chart a new way forward? Read her engaging story as she bares it all.

This book will encourage and motivate you to ditch the pretense and live authentically. Discover how to cultivate feelings of acceptance, love for self, and self-worth. Learn to conquer the negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that have tormented you all these years. You have a rightful place in the kingdom of God. This is the perfect time to find it, pursue your purpose, and live the fulfilling life you deserve.
