New Website Look, Same Message

My memoir, Back from Broken, was released in September 2022 in English paperback. Since then, it has been published in Spanish paperback and as an English audiobook. My message is being read by men and women of all ages, in all stations of life. My most avid readers call prison their home. I am humbled that people find my story relatable, encouraging, and for some, a pathway to learning about the One True God.

I consider my book my Christian ministry. I give it as a gift to others to learn from my mistakes and my faith journey. With this foundation I want to show you what apostle Paul said to the believers in Corinth when he thanked them for the money gift they were sending to persecuted Christians in Rome.

2 Corinthians 9:12-15 12  “So two good things will result from this ministry of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem [f] will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God. 13  As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God. For your generosity to them and to all believers will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ. 14  And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the overflowing grace God has given to you. 15  Thank God for this gift [g] too wonderful for words!” NLT

I thank God for helping me produce my gift of writing. I ask you to pray for me as I strive to schedule more speaking engagements to spread my message in person. I am motivated by the renewed interest in spiritual things following the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk. I want to be more available to talk to people about Jesus and how a relationship with Him changes everything: faith, family, culture.

To help me spread the word of my desire for more public speaking engagements, I would like to invite you to log in to my updated, and improved web site: JoAnnMarieSpeaks.com. Please leave a comment about your opinion of it; send me a message with suggestions of speaking venues; leave a review of my book; ask me questions about how you can experience hope and healing.

To God Be the Glory.
