Author & Book Highlight of the Month for November & December
Functioning Dysfunctionally: Serving Through Trauma
Tarrie “Tara”Powell (Author)
This raw, faith-anchored memoir shows what healing really looks like messy, honest, and miraculously possible. Through testimony, prayerful reflection, and practical insight, Tarrie Powell charts a way out of survival mode and into wholeness with Christ… and with therapy.
Across candid chapters on family wounds, stigma around counseling, forgiveness, and spiritual resilience, Powell pairs Scripture with lived experience to help readers name their truth, dismantle shame, and surrender to a slow, steady healing process. If you’ve ever carried pain while serving everyone else, these pages extend a hand and say, “We’re getting up from this together.”
For readers of Christian memoir, women’s inspirational nonfiction, recovery and inner-healing resources, and anyone ready to trade “functioning” for freedom
