Elisa Rendon gave her heart to Jesus as a teenager. But events at her congregation shook her so much that she was driven away from the Lord. For years, she lived a life of sin by following her desires—even enjoying an illicit relationship as a married mother. She also became involved in Santeria, which includes being the conduit of and serving spirits of the dead. This practice is commonly found in Hispanic countries and dates from the time the African people were brought to the New World. While the author may have lost her way, she eventually found her way back to Jesus. She shares her personal struggle of redemption in this book for anyone looking to ignite their faith. There is no such thing as a perfect Christian. There are redeemed Christians. It is hugely important to understand this difference. We all make mistakes. We do and say things that are harmful to ourselves and others and go astray from the path that God has prepared for us. But we all have a chance to find our way back.
