Up From the Ashes

Up From the Ashes is the powerful continuation of Carolyn French’s testimony, following the impact of Explosion of Hope.

With honesty and grace, Carolyn shares her journey through the pain of domestic abuse and the heartbreak of losing her beloved second husband—her “Mr. Wonderful.” in Up From the Ashes. Yet through every trial, God’s presence remained constant.

This is not a story of instant deliverance, but of a faithful God who walks with us through the fire and brings beauty from ashes. 

Up From the Ashes is a moving reminder that healing takes time, but hope is always within reach—for those who place their trust in Him.
