Groomed: Overcoming the Messages That Shaped Our Past and Limit Our Future
Written with Elizabeth Melendez Fisher Good, CEO and cofounder of Selah Freedom and the Selah Way Foundation. Published by Thomas Nelson, January 2020.
A staggering one out of three women in America was a victim of sexual abuse at some point in her childhood. No matter how many years it’s been, if that’s your story, those scars are probably still with you. But even if that’s not part of your story, this book is for you. Women today have been groomed for a lot more than just sex.
Using her own story of abuse, family tragedy, and rebellion, Elizabeth Melendez Fisher guides readers toward an understanding that grooming is oftentimes subtle, but it’s always life-altering. In Groomed Fisher incorporates the language and lessons gained over the past decade working with sex trafficking victims and draws out five specific ways that women have been groomed, from physical appearance to spirituality to finances, and shows how those manipulative messages have affected the way we see our worth.
No one has to be defined by her past. No one has to live for her groomers. It’s time to take a look back at where we came from to escape the messages of our past and take control of our future.
More Than Pretty: Doing the Soul Work That Uncovers Your True Beauty
Written with Erica Campbell. Published by Atria, September 2019
Grammy-winning gospel singer, television star, and radio host Erica Campbell demonstrates that true beauty is found not in external appearances, but in celebrating the person God made you to be.
So many young women struggle with issues of low self-esteem, depression, self-degradation, and other unhealthy habits that manifest on the outside what’s happening on the inside. And the rise of social media and the emphasis on beauty as validation for self-worth have only added fuel to the fire. But Erica Campbell—Grammy-winning gospel star, reality TV star, and nationally-syndicated radio host—believes that we need to redefine beauty. We need to start to see ourselves the way God sees us—beautiful and perfectly made. True beauty, Erica believes, is about embracing who God made you to be.
In More Than Pretty, we turn the mirror around, reflecting God’s Word, His affirmations, and His design for every woman. This book explores issues of self-esteem, identity, and intimacy. Erica is candid about her own struggles, sharing honestly about her battle to feel “good enough” in an industry that fixates on outward appearances.
Embracing the Journey: A Christian Parents’ Blueprint to Loving Your LGBTQ Child
Written with Greg and Lynn McDonald, founders of Embracing the Journey. Published by Simon & Schuster/Howard Books, 2019
A sympathetic, compassionate, and inspiring guide for parents, from the founders of one of the first Christian ministries for parents of LGBTQ children.
Greg and Lynn McDonald had never interacted with members of the LGBTQ community until they discovered that their son was gay—and without resources or support, they had no idea how to handle this discovery. At first they tried to “fix” him, to no avail. But even in the earliest days of their journey, the McDonalds clung to two absolutes: they would love God, and they would love their son.
Written in an unvarnished, honest, reassuring, and relatable voice, this is a practical guide for parents and a roadmap to learning to love God, the people He created, and the church, even when they seem to be at odds.
Choosing Higher Ground: Working and Living in the Values Economy
Written with Michael Weisman, founder and partner of Amusement Park Etc . Published by Nortia Press, 2016
Too many businesses today are wrapped up in the transactional economy–the place where standards are flexible and relationships last only as long as it takes to make the sale. But there is a better way.
Corporate cultures are changing, embracing a new values-driven approach to business we call the Values Economy. Choosing Higher Ground is our handbook for those who want to incorporate values into their daily workplace practices, and are finally ready to embark on the path to a greater calling.
