“Wow!  This is a really powerful book!  God’s answer to this hurting world.  Thanks for sharing your story.  I couldn't stop reading until I finished it.”  –
- Colleen Fast, Missionary; Manaus, Brazil

“Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep: The Story of Sara shares with the reader the very personal experience of devastation and horror that a child suffers as the result of physical, sexual, emotional, and spiritual abuse. The author has done an excellent job of describing the reality of abuse, the effects of abuse, and the spiritual and psychological healing that takes place when the survivor is able to share his/her story.” - Pat - Edwards, LCSW, ACSW, and Therapist, The Antioch Group

“No words could ever describe how such a powerful testimony can be used to transform countless lives.  This book is personal, powerful, truthful, eye-opening, heart-wrenching, and revealing.” 
- Karen Traenkenschuh, Author of A Blossom On the Branch

“This book made me want to stop making excuses and make the changes that I know that God wants me to make. “
- Cheri Stump, Jackson, Missouri “

“I felt the rise and fall of emotions.  Her words drew my attention to growth through the obedience to scripture, the depth of growth that He (God), desires for each of us.”  
- Anita McGill, Malden, MO

“Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep: The Story of Sara touched each and every part of me, the thread of writing, the manner and story line flows with such anointing and power.  God’s glory is revealed in obedience!  There IS beauty for ashes!  Sincere and compelling.  It made me angry, sickened by the horror Sara faced for a lifetime, made me laugh and cry...  Chapter by chapter the anticipation grew. Oh the never ending mercies of our God, so rich and manifest throughout the entire book; the demonstrative and lavish way you wrote of His never ending mercies, his love, his transforming and redemptive power.  The book set out by God’s divine hand and instruction will accomplish that which he intends it to.” 
- Robyn Speciale, IL  

“Sara’s story was very heart-wrenching and inspiring to experience.” 
- Sheila Hester, Pastor’s wife, Odin Assembly of God, Odin, IL

“I sat down to read a couple of chapters but didn't put it down until I finished it!”
- RT, Teacher, TN

“I only intended to start and read a few chapters, but I read the whole thing.  The book was very moving and timely.” 
- SM, Executive, AR  

“Sara’s story is proof, once again, that God always hears and answers prayer, Sara’s prayers from an overwhelmed, powerless child were answered by God in amazing and powerful ways.  Our pain is not wasted.  God accomplishes great things through great pain.”
- Aundi Woolard, Wife & Mother, TX

“It was hard to set this book aside… so many emotions swelled up inside of me. Through this inspired reading, God showed me of the generations of children who are impacted - along with children to come - by the ungodly…. It is time to rise up and follow the guidance of God, as Sara did, in order to be free, free at last, a healing of a generation and generations to come.”  
- Virginia Garrett, Nurse, AR

“I started reading it yesterday afternoon and found it so hard to put down.  I was telling my husband about it and just started sobbing while relaying the torture that Sara went through.  I love the pearl analogy and now see Sara as the most beautiful pearl in the world.  Our God is a miracle worker and quite obviously worked a miracle in Sara's life - and I'm so glad He did.  Thank you for sharing Sara's story.” 
- BC, Wife & Mother, IL 

“I sincerely believe this book is Spirit driven.  Jen Miller writes this story with integrity and extreme sensitivity.  She helps others with similar situations and backgrounds know that there is a Light at the end of their personal tunnel.  That Light is God.  He delivers ALL.” 
- EA, Business Owner, Wife & Morther, IL
