God has a funny sense of humor sometimes. He often uses pain to not only gain our attention but to also relieve us of those hidden secrets that keep us bound to sin. When we release every little secret thing that is hidden in our hearts, we can then move forward and see just where God's hand has been with us the whole time. Pain can be the best motivator for God to use for us as people to acknowledge our need for Him and not sit on the sidelines, having a pity party thinking that these things only happen to us or relaxing in our judgment seats. God often uses life events to get our attention so that He can work on an area of our lives that is hindering us from fulfilling our ultimate purpose. The journey is never over. You cannot afford to not open your minds and see the many ways God uses pain to chase after us. He loves us more than the human mind can imagine and wants nothing more than to connect with you with something you and He have in common""pain. Don't you think that God felt pain when He was nailed to the cross? So why not connect with you through your life pains?

*Updated version 12/09/14* **WARNING- Graphic content ** A beautifully devastating, tragically graphic, compelling tale of a woman suffering... She has no name of her own. She is every name everyone has ever called her. She is nameless. She has a good job, a beautiful home and a wonderful husband. She is everything she was supposed to be. She has structure and stability, but she is lost. She is trying. Her whole life is spent trying; yet her whole life has been nothing but an apology. She is so tired of trying and failing. In just one week, she learns her entire life is a series of brutalities. She learns intense, consuming passion for the first time with a beautiful stranger. She learns love within this passion, and she learns heartbreak while without. Slowly her breakdown overcomes her. She tries to rise above her circumstances, but when she has nothing left to fight with; she tries to ease the pain forever. Desperately, she fights her way through the agony of life, and she returns with a gentle hope. She wants to live, and she wants to love, for the first time in her life. Now, she has a name. Now, she can be 'her'... Any HER that she wants to be.

The story of a transgender child based on the real-life experience of Jazz Jennings, who has become a spokesperson for transkids everywhere "This is an essential tool for parents and teachers to share with children whether those kids identify as trans or not. I wish I had had a book like this when I was a kid struggling with gender identity questions. I found it deeply moving in its simplicity and honesty."—Laverne Cox (who plays Sophia in “Orange Is the New Black”) From the time she was two years old, Jazz knew that she had a girl's brain in a boy's body. She loved pink and dressing up as a mermaid and didn't feel like herself in boys' clothing. This confused her family, until they took her to a doctor who said that Jazz was transgender and that she was born that way. Jazz's story is based on her real-life experience and she tells it in a simple, clear way that will be appreciated by picture book readers, their parents, and teachers.
