Breaking the Shadows: How to Embrace Your True Self and Live in the Light of God's Glory

by Carol Chisolm, Pastor Crystal J Lucky (Foreword)

Bengay, hair loss, and wigs. Many grapple with low self-esteem and self-loathing. Singer-songwriter Carol Chisolm was consumed by this. Living in the shadows of shame, fear, and captivity, she suffered from alopecia, an autoimmune disorder causing hair loss. For decades, she tried hair growth products and hid her baldness with wigs, even from her family. But one day, after a long inner struggle, she found confidence and embraced her baldness as a gift from God. She discovered her identity came from inner peace, joy, and freedom, not hair products or wigs. If you question your identity, worth, or purpose, 'Breaking the Shadows' can help you accept your flaws, let go of insecurities, understand God's love, and walk in liberty. This book guides you out of the shadows, with action steps to reclaim your true self. Like Carol, you can sing and thrive as the beautiful soul you're meant to be.

[Manette · Rating 5 out of 5]

This short read is full of rich encouragement based on the life experiences of author, Carol Chisolm, and the truth of God’s word. She candidly shares her struggles with accepting her self with hair loss caused by alopecia.

Through her testimony, Carol emphasizes we all have flaws or things we don’t like about ourselves and try to hide. She’s right about that and thus this book offers valuable wisdom for everyone. Your struggle is most likely different than hair loss but God has a plan and purpose for your life too, regardless of your specific challenges.

Carol’s story inspires and directs you to seek God who loves you and made you in His divine likeness. Find freedom by living out your purpose through the Lord Jesus Christ.

I read an advanced copy of Carol’s powerful testimony of her journey living with alopecia. I love how each chapter ends with song lyrics and that you can scan a code at the end to hear her music! She is a talented writer, songwriter, and singer!
