"Learning To Live Again" (Through Jesus Christ, My Lord)
Have you ever been a victim of abuse? Have you ever questioned why such bad things have happened to you? Author Sonja Marie Miller can answer "yes" to both of these questions as she grew up only knowing abuse and cruelty from those who she believed cared about her. Yet through everything, she never gave up and survived the unimaginable.
"Unfortunately, bad things do happen to good people, but we do not have to let the bad things that have happened to us destroy our lives." - Sonja Marie Miller
Truer words have never been spoken. Learning To Live Again (Through Jesus Christ, My Lord) is Miller's startling, yet hopeful memoir of surviving, overcoming, and sharing her story so that other women who have suffered or are currently suffering as she has can become survivors and overcomers. as well.
Her story of survival began all the way on the day of her birth as she born at twenty-four weeks and weighed only three pounds. From childhood up to her late teenage years, she became a victim of molestation, abuse (physical, verbal, and sexual), and 3 counts of rape by her stepfathers and supposed friends. Fear, guilt, shame, and feelings of unworthiness were all she felt over those countless years, turning to anger, hatred, and rage as she reached adulthood.
Through the bad and the worse, each year brought her closer to God until she attended a church service that changed her life forever. Now, she no longer considers herself a victim, but rather an overcomer since the day she received her healing through her Lord and Savior. Miller is a miracle, and her story is a wonder and a prayer to others so they, too can overcome their pasts and maintain victory in their lives for their futures.

Ministries is a Bible based oriented encouragement; prayer and healing ministry for hurting women who want to be free from their past and maintain victory in their life. Sonja was born and raised in a Southwest Michigan town. Sonja has been a victim of molestation, physical & sexual abuse, rape, and rejection. Sonja does not consider herself a victim anymore since she has received her healing through Jesus Christ her Lord. I thank God every day for how miraculously He has truly changed my life and has filled my heart with so much Joy. Because of His amazing love, healing, and restoration in my life, He has given me a heart for Women who have suffered many unthinkable things during their lifetime. Jesus Loves you with an everlasting love, and He wants you free, I want you free, but most of all I want you to see yourselves as Jesus see’s You, whole, healed, set free and delivered being all that you can be through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Because of the nature of different types of abuse, I have endured in my life I do minister to hurting and abused women when the need arises, or an appointment can be made to meet one on one. The Bible says we are more than Conquerors and Gain an Overwhelming Victory through Him who loved us (so much that He died for us) (Romans 8:37 Amp). But I also have a heart and a passion for women who are sold out to Jesus, women who want to press in and know Him in a deeper way and have a personal relationship with Him. A personal relationship with God is developed by spending time with Him, reading His Word, getting to know Him, and understanding His character, learning to trust Him, knowing His Word is Truth. We need an intimate relationship with Jesus. L.o.v.e. Ministries Meetings are designed to glorify God by applying His Word into our lives. I am also looking for women who would like to come and share their Testimony of how the Lord has helped you to overcome something in your life, so if you have a testimony to share that glorifies God, I would appreciate hearing it. L.o.v.e. Ministries is here to help you. If you would like more information, please contact me at the numbers listed below. Thank you. L.o.v.e. Ministries at: 365-3676 or Sonja Miller 203-7676 at my Home.
