He Said... Get Up! Lorraine McFarland

Dr. Lorraine is a true SURVIVOR! An OVERCOMER! ... and a Woman of Faith! As a child, her life dream was to find her voice-from the depths of her being and far beyond her shyness-to tell the world the truth of her own personal pain: the hidden secret. This book originally started as a submission to a writing contest. She knew it was the only way she would ever accomplish putting such pain into writing. Why? Because there was a deadline for the entry. Dr. Lorraine gracefully admits she is a procrastinator at heart; growing up, she always doubted her self-worth, value to others, and ability to be somebody the world could accept. After the contest-of which she states she's glad she didn't win-her written words were filed away, never to be shared again. She struggled as she kept hearing the words, "Get up!" She knew fear continued to be her enemy. Today, she has found her voice and fearlessly steps into a world of freedom. Without hesitation, Dr. Lorraine shares this journey in hopes that it helps others overcome the pain of their past and step into their God-given purpose."God took me on a journey that literally saved my life," she explains. "He led me to true freedom. When I hear the words, 'Get up, ' I know it means, 'Go tell the World!'
