God has shown me I'm healed. Why do I get so discouraged? When a Christian chooses to live close to God, the devil gets indigestion. Satan will throw out anything he can to have you turn your eyes away from the Almighty. Temptations come in many forms. Relationships, spreading gossip, indulging in food or drink, sex, you name it. One can coast along reading the Bible, attending church, enjoying fellowship with other Christians, and oh yes, can trust the Lord, absolutely. But what happens when the rubber meets the road?

About the Book
Heal, Three Steps Forward, Two Steps Back is a tender invitation into the quiet, unseen places where healing truly begins. In these pages, Stella Reynolds opens her heart with humility and grace, offering stories shaped by motherhood, faith, heartbreak, and the slow unfolding of restoration. As a divorced mother of six and a grateful grandmother, Stella has lived through seasons that felt overwhelming, lonely, and impossibly heavy—yet God met her there, again and again, with compassion that held her steady. This book doesn’t promise perfection or instant transformation. Instead, it reflects the gentle reality that healing often comes in small, sacred steps. Some days move us forward; others pull us back. But through every stumble and every rise, God is patiently drawing us toward wholeness. With warmth and honesty, Stella shares the ways she learned to trust God’s timing, listen for His voice, and rediscover her worth after years of emotional and spiritual struggle. Her stories offer comfort to the weary, encouragement to the discouraged, and quiet companionship to anyone trying to rebuild their life from the inside out. Heal is a reminder that nothing is wasted, God’s love is constant, and even the slowest progress is still progress. This journey isn’t perfect—but it is beautifully, faithfully human.
