Thriving Beyond The Tears

Dr Stem relays with clarity the hidden problems, struggles that many families face and live with. This was her story. Her heart and love of God, and healing others is apparent in each chapter. She talks about how God has helped her learn to live a free and fearless life. The book is a very easy and fast read and not only did I enjoy it and the layout of the book, but was very challenged as a person who would normally say, " I hate reading" Grateful for how God uses others to help us in our journeys!

I LOVED THIS BOOK! I've read it from cover to cover twice. Dr Stem writes about the challenges she faced living with her father's decision to marry more wives, how this affected her, her mother and siblings and the fears she has had to endure ever since. She describes how she overcame her fears, anger and resentment. There are also questions and reflections which are essentially self-help tools to help you overcome your own fears. I really love this book and recommend it highly. Mumbaga J Nurse/Parent

This book has some great practical and wise advice. Dr Stem's passion and heart to encourage others comes through this open and vulnerable story she reveals in this book. Her passion for God and living fearless are evident on each page. So many things in this book have helped me have the courage to take one step forward, believe more, let go my fear and helped me to teach it to the kids I mentor. Our lives were never meant to be lived out in fear or to be paralyzed by fear. What a great reminder that with God we can live fearless. Maria K, teacher
