Grace In The Ruins: The Story I Thought I'd Never Tell (A Memoir of Addiction), (Paperback)

<p><b>Grace in the Ruins is an unflinching memoir of addiction, surrender, and the slow, sacred work of becoming whole again.</b></p><p></p><p>To everyone else, life appeared intact-responsibilities met, smiles practiced, faith spoken. But beneath the surface, a woman was quietly unraveling. What started as a coping mechanism became a secret that grew teeth. Shame settled in. Control slipped away. And the cost of hiding became heavier than the fear of being seen.</p><p></p><p>With raw honesty and deep reverence, Joanne Philipz shares the story she once believed should stay buried. A story of losing herself, facing the truth she had avoided, and discovering that God does not abandon us in our darkest places. He enters them. Patiently. Gently. Without condemnation.</p><p></p><p>This is not a polished recovery story or a formula for change. It is a testimony of grace found in the wreckage-of faith that held when everything else fell apart, and of restoration that came one honest step at a time.</p><p></p><p>If you are carrying a past you're afraid to name, if you've wondered whether God could still meet you after everything you've done, this book is for you. Healing doesn't happen overnight-but it does happen. Freedom is not a feeling; it's a decision. And even the most broken chapters can become the beginning of something <b>redeemed.</b></p>
