Wounded Vessel: I Am Taking Back My Power

Throughout her life, Jeanette Elrod has found comfort, safety, and hope in Christ. Within her new memoir, readers will discover their own sense of hope, inspiration, and healing.

Despite accepting the light of Christ as a young girl, Jeanette Elrod faced a darkness that threatened to tarnish God's goodness in her life. Shortly after declaring her faith, she endured the trauma of childhood abuse.

She married at 17; a marriage she stayed in for nearly 30 years before starting fresh in Nashville, Tennessee. She married another three times-within two of those marriages, Jeanette suffered intense abuse.

Jeanette furthered her career by working for one of the most powerful men in Tennessee, former Nashville Mayor and Governor Phil Bredesen; however, she was fired for refusing to get the vaccine.

For Jeanette, life has felt like a marathon down a rocky, uneven road-she even describes it as straddling the line between faith and the world. Despite the shadows, setbacks, and obstacles, God has healed her many times and never let go.

Within the pages of Wounded Vessel, readers will follow Jeanette's journey and victories over 70 years. Her story is inspiring for the patriotic, the faithful, the artistic, and the dreamers who refuse to give up on the passions everyone else ignores.

Jeanette hopes that her life's story communicates to others that no matter what life hands you, there is hope, you can reach your dreams, and you are not alone.

As Jeanette herself says, "Fight for God, fight for family, and fight for the country-trying not to lose any of them. Follow a road representing faith, hope, and love, God, and you will be victorious."
