The Fragile Heart was written during the most difficult trials of my life. I lost three children, was diagnosed with Chrons disease, and lost my job after working in a career for more than ten years. Anyone who has ever had to deal with difficult circumstances that have caused heartbreak can identify with the excruciating pain and hardship it can bring. During those times, it was an uphill struggle to find comfort and peace of mind again. In this book, we will talk about how to experience comfort, deliverance, but most of all, a complete healing through the Love and Word of God. I pray that this book touches and ministers to your heart, and that you find solace in knowing that, while going through difficult times, you are not alone and God can heal your broken and fragile heart. After reading this book, I was inspired to serve the Lord even more vigorously. Having known Shelly for years, I have seen the growth in her life and was very impressed with the way that she put her experiences into words. The Fragile Heart is a must read not only for Christians but for everyone who needs encouragement and understanding during trying times. -Pastor Warner Bradby Shelly and her husband, Damon, make their residence in Maryland with their four-year-old daughter, Hannah. They fellowship at Glorious Trinity Apostolic Faith Holiness Church in Baltimore where Shelly serves as a missionary, Sunday school teacher, choir director, and youth leader. Before being called to serve in ministry in 2008, Shelly worked in property management for 10 years. She and her staff were recognized for their achievements and won many awards. In her spare time, Shelly sings with her family singing group, "The Allen Family." Most of all, Shelly enjoys spending time with her family.

This book identifies with my suffering and where it came from. Suffer No More can help guide you to freedom from addiction and any character defect that identifies you. When we are born, we are born with a sinful nature, and until we find God, there is no freedom from our sinful nature. Unless you believe in Christ as your personal Savior, you will struggle with the issues of sin for the rest of your life. But if you accept Christ as your Savior, you are then set free from your old sinful nature by the power of Jesus. Suffer No More is just to help people see the light from all their darkness and to help people find freedom. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Jesus paid the penalty. He willingly took on his body all the punishment that we deserved so we wouldnt have to. He died on the cross for all our sins so we could be set free and be made righteousness in God through Christ Jesus, if we are willing to turn our life over to his care. Allow him to do the work in and through you by his Holy Spirit, and I promise you, you will be set free. Do the twelve steps to the best of your ability, and God will do beyond what you could ever dream or imagine. I pray this book will lead many to Christ.
