As her testimony of the fortitude she found through faith, Sharen Rooks authored What Happens When God Moves (ISBN 9781420830125) – a truly inspirational story about the life of a young woman and the many trials and tribulations she experiences over a decade. Her story is riveting and includes some really horrific circumstances that would break some of the strongest people down. Her story includes an incident of incest which results in pregnancy, the death of a child, brief incarceration, witnessing a shooting, almost becoming homeless, and losing her job. Through the grace of God, these adversities develop this young entrepreneur into a very successful businesswoman, motivational speaker, consultant, singer, actor, and author.

This true story should inspire others to never give up and keep the faith and to walk in the direction that the Lord is leading you in at all times. The book will also minister to couples facing rocky times in their marriage. The struggle comes before success! The story unfolds to reveal God’s true purpose for living in victory!
