From Basement To Sanctuary: Finding Healing And Transformation Through Surrender

From Basement to Sanctuary is a radical story of conversion and transformation that enlightens readers on what the church can learn from the twelve-step recovery movement, and who the God is that plucks His beloved children out of the basement. Author Holly Christine Hayes spent her teen and young adult life mired in alcoholism and drug addiction, in the grips of a downward spiral that led to a life of trauma, shame, and eventual homelessness. After an encounter with God in a public bathroom in 2001, her life was forever changed. God miraculously healed her and delivered her from her addiction. But it took years for her to find out who the God was that saved her. It wasn't until she came face to face with Jesus through an accidental encounter with the Bible that she learned He was the God who saved her in that bathroom all those years ago. Through the telling of her story, the author takes readers on a journey through the recovery meetings that gather in church basements to the sanctuary of the church. All the while, she shares lessons she learned in the basement about who God really is and the miraculous ways He wants to heal our hurts, habits, sins and setbacks -- cover page.
