Michaela Gregory and Victoria Reynolds-Canady Release their new book, "The Familiar's Lie (The Broken Series, Book 1)

    COLUMBUS, OH, May 12, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Michaela is a licensed minister, spoken word artist and best-selling author. Victoria holds a Ph.D. in Mental Health Policy and Practices, the founder of Damsels-Fly, LLC, a ministry for mental health, and a best-selling author. Together, they have written "The Familiar's Lie (The Broken Series Book 1)". This "No Holds Barred" read delves into the emotional, psychological, and sensual struggles of pornography addiction and delivers practical and spiritual revelations that are certain to guide readers who want a changed life to the path of freedom.

"Having experienced childhood sexual abuse and being introduced to pornography by my abusers, it quickly became a secret part of my life that I carried into adulthood. Because it was a taboo subject in the church, as a licensed, female minister I struggled to find an end to my own dark battle beyond the traditional churchy cliché's and nearly non-existent resources for Christian women seeking healing."

In a recent interview with Steve Kidd, the host of Thriving Entrepreneur Radio show, Michaela said, "If we can stop pretending and be real with one another, then we can have some authentic and real relationships, that's a lot of what the book is about." Victoria, who contributed the Bible study portion of the book, said, "The Bible study really talks about being ready, willing, and able to take a stand against this thing [pornography] that's in your life. It definitely speaks to the fact that it is not easy, that it will be a process, that you might take 2 steps forward and 5 steps backward. That's just the process." Victoria added, the one thing she would tell people who are in the struggle would be, "Don't try to do it alone."

Steve encourages you to get their new book on Amazon today!

Michaela is an author, who lends her voice of raw truth to reach the broken hearted that will probably never set foot in a church. Having overcome childhood abuse, and pornography addiction, she uses her books as self- therapy that she hopes will be used as an instrument of healing in the lives of other survivors. Michaela's desire is to bring life to the stories of the broken, then bring hope to their hurt. That hope is in Jesus Christ. Michaela was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio but currently resides in Columbus, Ohio with her Pomeranian, Solomon, and her Chug (half Pug and half Chihuahua) Rocco.
