Christian Newswire/ -- A preteen shattered by a sexually abusive father and an absent mother, B.J. Garrett was left unprotected, and unloved. Unwanted by the people who should have loved her most, she found herself wanted by the wrong people for the worst reasons.
In Unwanted No More: From Exploited to Embraced by God (Redemption Press), author B.J. Garrett vulnerably shares her search for self-worth that led to sexual promiscuity and unplanned pregnancies, and a trail of broken relationships. After losing everything in a house fire, B.J. turned toward God. With the shadow of shame lifted by her newfound faith, B.J. made a startling discovery—she'd been wanted all along.
B.J. Garrett tells her story with soul-searching vulnerability and transparency. In full-time ministry since 2004, she is the executive director of Christ-centered Abortion Recovery & Education (CARE) in Tyler, Texas, where she had been a client herself in need of post-abortion healing. Garrett says, "Regardless of what you've done or what's been done to you, there is hope and redemption in a relationship with Jesus."
Unwanted No More reminds readers they can experience unconditional, love, and a life of purpose. B.J. Garrett says, "I need women hurting from their past to understand they are not alone, and that there is nothing too ugly for them to overcome. Their life matters."
