Description
Don't let your past keep you from a full future.
Like every girl, Sarah Jakes dreamed of a life full of love, laughter, and happy endings. But her dreams changed dramatically when she became pregnant at age thirteen, a reality only compounded by the fact that her father, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was one of the most influential megachurch pastors in the nation. As a teen mom and a high-profile preacher's kid, her road was lonely. She was shunned at school, gossiped about at church. And a few years later, when a fairy-tale marriage ended in a spiral of hurt and rejection, she could have let her pain dictate her future.
Instead, she found herself surrounded by a God she'd given up on, crashing headlong with Him into a destiny she'd never dreamed of. Sarah's captivating story, unflinchingly honest and deeply vulnerable, is a vivid reminder that God can turn even the deepest pain into His perfection.
More than a memoir, Lost and Found offers hope and encouragement. Perhaps you, like Sarah, find yourself wandering the detours of life. Regardless of how lost you feel, you, too, can be found.

Such transparency
5By Alimac07One of my Favorite books.Transparency saves lives
5By Nae PassionSuch an inspiration to be transparent, those who are transparent with others open doors for others to be transparent with others showing each other that we are all not alone, and reading this book although I may have not had the exact same experiences and trauma I was still able to relate to the pain and suffering and applaud the fact that this woman found strength to pull herself out of her own darkness and thrive with grace in her back! Thank you for sharing your story Sarah, thank you for finding your voice...thank you for finding your strength cause with that comes a domino effect of others finding theirs too for generations to come. Love, Nae PassionAwesome
